For many of us, Easter is not only a religious celebration, but also a family tradition. My earliest memories of Easter were of an elaborate egg hunt created by my dad. Each year on the night before, he would write clues, place them inside plastic eggs, and hide them all around the house. On Easter morning, my sisters and I would work together to find the ultimate prize (usually a toy), while my mom and grandma prepared delicious food for brunch.
Dying eggs has also been an Easter tradition, but what can you do with all of those leftover, hard-boiled eggs? These dishes are a great way to use up those eggs after the celebrations are over. If you don't celebrate Easter, these recipes are still a great way to incorporate eggs in your diet for a bit of extra protein!
