​My kids LOVE to color eggs for Easter. One after another they complete the batch of hard-boiled eggs in mere minutes. They clamor for more. But, they do not understand that I am not one to waste food. I love this protein-packed snack as much as anyone. But, unless you are this guy...

...you need to find more recipes for your eggs.

I have the perfect solution! 

I have the Beauty, Red Pickled Eggs, the Beast, Deviled Eggs and Be Our Guest, Egg Salad Sandwich. Okay, that last Beauty and Beast reference was a stretch. Regardless, these recipes are easy enough to cook with your kids. Yet, they are yummy enough that you will make dozens of eggs for Easter.

You have no excuse to indulge your little ones these Easter!

If your little one is not helping you in the kitchen, then entertain them with these coloring pages.

First thing first... Here is the BEST was to cook eggs.

​The key to easy-peel eggs is steaming. It also gently cooks the egg to perfection; no green ring, which often adds a sulfur flavor. The fresher the eggs the worse it will be for removing the shells. They should be 7-10 days  old. Note: The worst is to bake them. They taste good, but the shell molds to the egg.  However, if you are stuck in the past, and want to boil, then add baking soda to the water. It softens the shell.  

Ingredients

​•6-Fresh Eggs
•Ice water, enough to cover eggs after steaming

Equipment

​​•Steamer Basket
•Mason Jar with Lid, Half Full of Water

How to Steam

​•Add eggs to a steam basket. Steam  for 13 minutes
•Transfer eggs to ice water let sit 5 minutes

How to Peel

​•Put eggs in a jar that is half full of water and shake.
•The shells should fall off ; leaving a clean & beautiful egg.

Red Pickle Egg Recipe from www.storiesbymom.com
Click for PDF
I reverse engineered this recipe for my husband who loved eating these each Easter at his grandmother’s house. These are the prettiest use of hard-boiled eggs. They don’t taste like pickles or vinegar. Imagine a boiled egg with an essence of beet.

Ingredients

  • ​2 (15-ounce) can beets with juice
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 12 hard cooked eggs, shelled and whole
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup vinegar (I use apple-cider)

​You can also use fresh beets too. We plant a batch of beets every Arizona winter. Boil 8-12 beets in 1 – 1 ½ cups water.

Directions

  • Drain liquid from the beets into saucepan. Place beets, onions, and eggs into a large jar or container with a lid.
  • Pour sugar and vinegar into the saucepan with the beet liquid and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer 15 minutes.
  • ​Pour the beet juice mixture over the beets, eggs, and onions. Seal the container and refrigerate. Refrigerate for at least one to 3 days; the longer they are allowed to sit the better they will taste. Good for 2-weeks.

It's Egg-cellent
