If you are a die-hard celebrator of Easter, then you probably know one of the lesser-talked-about side effects of dyeing Easter eggs: lots and lots of hard boiled eggs. And let’s face it, hard boiled eggs aren’t really as exciting as Easter candy or an elaborate Easter dinner spread, complete with tons of delicious Easter desserts.
Still, hard boiled eggs are an incredible source of protein and make a great addition to just about every type of meal, from healthy breakfasts to quick dinners. Plus, there is no easier, on-the-goal meal or snack than a hard boiled egg.
But as great as a simple hard boiled egg with salt and pepper is, there are so many more ways to make the food more interesting, tasty, and flavorful (and yes, there are more recipes available than just the traditional deviled eggs). Consider adding some spice to your hard boiled eggs, or using them as a the protein base in a salad where you’d usually use chicken or other meat. Or try placing them on top of toast, mixing them in with roasted vegetables – you name it.
