12 Recipe Ideas for Leftover Easter Eggs

Tasty Ways to Use Up Leftover Easter Eggs.

Happy Weekend everyone! Instead of my usual DIY Saturday Featured Post, I thought I’d share some recipe ideas for those leftover Easter eggs you’ll have after Easter (or anytime you have hard-boiled eggs and don’t know what to do with them). Here are 12 Recipe Ideas for Leftover Easter Eggs that are a little different from the normal egg salad you might usually make with them.

There are so many tasty ways to use up all the extra hard-boiled eggs you’ll likely have leftover after Easter! Just know that you shouldn’t eat any eggs that you made for decor or hiding. Not necessarily because of the coloring in the dye, but because they’ll have been out of the refrigerator too long to be safe. But if you have a bunch of extra eggs that have been in the fridge for less than a week, put them to use in some of the tasty recipes below!

12 Recipes For Leftover Easter Eggs

• Leave them in their shell. Hardboiled eggs will last longer in their shell because it slows the growth of bacteria. They are best eaten within one week of cooking.
• Leave out for only 2 hours. Hardboiled eggs should only be out of the refrigerator for a max of 2 hours. If any longer, better be safe and toss them instead of eating them.
• Add eggs for protein. What I learned during this search of recipes for leftover hardboiled eggs is that you can add them to many recipes for a different source of protein! Or mix them with avocado for a healthy sandwich spread!
