Ree Drummond has come up with dozens of egg recipes over the years. But one that remains near and dear to her heart is deviled eggs. "Deviled eggs are so ding dang addictive," she says, "I love them!" So it's no surprise that Ree has used hard-boiled eggs to make all kinds of variations on the classic Easter appetizer—including a horseradish version that's topped with bbq potato chips! Ahead, you'll find that recipe and so many more ways to use hard-boiled eggs. Of course, there are classic picnic sides, like egg salad and Southern potato salad, but you'll also find some creative hard-boiled egg recipes, too. Take the grated egg avocado toast for instance—it became an internet sensation!
The key to making these recipes using hard-boiled eggs, is planning ahead. Once you know how long it takes to hard boil eggs, you can meal prep as many as you'd like. Then, use them throughout the week for quick lunches, like chicken Cobb salad, or easy appetizers, like spicy avocado deviled eggs. Looking to put your Easter leftovers to good use? Many people will dye eggs for their holiday celebration—and as long as you use natural, food-safe dye and properly store them, you can use the hard-boiled eggs in the days to come. "I make it a point to keep our dyed eggs refrigerated so that we could enjoy them today (and tomorrow!)," Ree says.
