FoodNetwork.com has some AMAZING egg salad recipes that aren't horrible in the calorie department. If you're looking for some new recipes to deal with the left over hard boiled eggs from Easter I strongly suggest checking out Alton Brown's Chunky Egg Salad recipe. It's delish and only 218 calories per serving (the recipe makes 8 servings).

What are your go to recipes for other holiday left overs?

    I just eat plain hard boiled eggs usually :) Egg salad is great too though, or mixed with canned tuna and mustard...mmm. I also like to slice them and put them on my salads!

    If you have any that have not been eaten - take them to your local food bank for the poor children who did not get eggs over Easter. Or give them to a local school for making cakes.

    Any that are open - make them into chocolate crispy cakes and give them to a neighbour.

    Why do you need to eat them - can you afford the calories? Are you going to do the exercise to burn them off?!

    You could eat so much real food for that many calories and you won't be filling your body with toxic refined sugar syrups.

    Good luck! Good question.

    Got this recipe from health-dot-com

    They have more, but those had a lot of calories.



    New American Deviled Eggs

    This picnic favorite uses low-fat mayo and fat-free yogurt to cut down on calories but packs in flavor with ginger, hot sauce, and curry powder.

    Ingredients: Hard-boiled eggs, fat-free yogurt, low-fat mayonnaise, baking potato, curry powder, ginger, hot pepper sauce, green onions

    Calories: 34

    They are the cooked ones we colored not the chocolate eggs! I have about a dozen and a half. I just figured if I made the egg salad that'd be the quickest way to get rid of them and it's a really decent recipe.

    She's talking about hard boiled eggs, not chocolate. So the food bank won't take them, they'll spoil, and no one is going to make cakes out of them. Hard boiled eggs are healthy, so yes I have the calories for them.

    I just eat them plain, or make egg salad. Sometimes then go on top of the salads.

    A couple tennis racketts and a target could be great fun!

    The closet cook had a great egg recipe where you mash avacodos with the yolks to make a twist on deviled eggs. No mayo required and season with chopped peppers and chili powder. I served them Easter and they went over well.

    You could be adventurous and try an Indian Egg Curry. Try looking on About. com and under Indian for the recipe. I have made it and rather like it.

    Just wondering, how long is safe to store boiled eggs in the fridge?

    Damn OP...you have eggs leftover...mine were gone yesterday.

    Not long really. We had some leftover last year and my wife ate one @ 5 days out...she was sick for a few. My general rule for any leftover is 48-72 hours...for me, it's not more than that for anything.

    You can chop them up and freeze them.

    I guess this is me being a spoiled American but I never wanted to eat eggs that had been sitting out to dry and then shuffled all over a hot yard for hours on end.

    I made my deviled egg with light miracle whip and mustard and a little pickle relish so there were very little added calories. Today I came home for lunch instead of eating at work and I chopped up two of them for an egg salad sandwhich on whole wheat slimwhiches. I enjoyed it very much! I love eggs and consider them good protein so I'm not one who is afraid to eat real eggs. But I do have friends who skip them or only use egg whites.

    I am either going to pickle them with beets for myself or make deviled eggs for my DH. Probably the later.

    As a diabetic that battles high fasting blood sugar number in the morning, I should eat protein to help bring the number down. So I would have one egg in the morning as a part of my breakfast. Just saying.:smile:

    Someone needs to maybe read the actual post, rather than just skimming the title, before replying to topics.

    I like to make E-T-Cs with them. I don't have a recipe per se, but you chop up a couple boiled eggs, mix with a can of tuna, a little shredded cheese, and just enough mayo to make it stick together. Put as many slices of bread as will fit flat on a cookie sheet (about 6 or 8) and top each with a scoop of the mix. Top with a little more cheese if you want, then put under the broiler until the bread is toasted and the cheese melts. Yummy.

    We just color them, I never hide the hard boiled ones! If I had hid them outside I probably would've thrown them away!

    egg-kabobs, shrimp creole, egg gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple egg, lemon egg, coconut egg, pepper egg, egg soup, egg stew, egg salad, egg and potatoes, egg burger, egg sandwich. That- that's about it.

    (I'm sorry I've seen this question so many times I've been tempted to answer this way each time... I just couldn't resist it this time)
