And then, of course, I’m linking to some fantastic recipes that you may want to try for Easter that involve eggs (deviled eggs) or leftover eggs (egg salad varieties) – Yum :)

Thanks for including my deviled eggs recipe! :-)
I hope y’all had a wonderful Easter, Sandy! We love deviled eggs and egg salad here and I can’t wait to dig into some today with all of those eggs from yesterday! YUM!
On my lands Sandy, your egg line-up look amazing!
I have been using this method for awhile now…ever since I saw you post it who knows when. I take it a bit further in the cooling process…I had some ice cubes to the pan just to cool them a bit faster. Those recipes look fancy…I think I might like the avocado ones or the bacon topped eggs…not sure about the others…Can’t wait to eat some at my MIL’s house today! Have a great Easter
Hi Sandy,
great collection of recipes. Eggs with Prosciutto are my top pick, I love it. Thanks for the tips. :) happy Easter.
I love deviled eggs. I love egg salad. What I do not like is peeling the eggs. So is the secret to let them cool before you peel them? Is the secret to cool them immediately and then cool them a bit more? Is the secret bringing the water to a boil before you put in the eggs? I’ve done this a lot of times and always have a few eggs that mess up–not fun when you’re making deviled eggs!
Have a WONDERFUL Easter!!
We make pickled beet eggs at our house on Easter. A tradition I look forward to every year ( :
thank you for including me in such a fantastic round up – all of these recipes look great!
I love your tips for the perfect egg – another one I have, for PEELING the easiest? Add some baking soda to the water the eggs are boiled in – makes the shells come of in big easy pieces.
Happy Easter!
Oh my gosh … these all look amazing. Is there nothing you can’t put on an egg? I can’t wait to try some of these.
I am so excited to peel the eggs we’re coloring this evening, for deviled eggs and egg salad sandwiches! Wonderful round-up, Sandy – thank you so much for including my Sauteed Mediterranean version. Wishing you a great weekend and a very blessed Easter! xo
Heavens, it’s an EGGstravaganza!! :D Love them all.
Oh my goodness, this post made me so hungry! Thanks for linking to my egg salad!
Happy Easter to you and your family! xo
I knew I could count on you for the perfect boiled egg again this year! Mine are on the counter getting their chill off! A very Blessed Easter to you and yours dear Sandy!!
Happy Easter to you and your family Sandy. What a great roundup of recipes to use when all those colored eggs are found. I have fond memories of Easter egg hunts at our house when the girls were growing up.
