A Basket of Brightly Colored Hardboiled Eggs

If you celebrate Easter, then we hope you enjoyed the holiday and hopefully found a way to sneak in a few Mediterranean Diet Inspired Easter Meal Ideas.

Now that the holiday is winding down, you may find yourself with a whole bunch of brightly colored, leftover hardboiled eggs on your hands. My kids love coloring the Easter eggs but eating them…not so much.

Thankfully there are so many creative and delicious ways you can turn those leftover eggs into part of an easy dish.

Ways to Use Leftover Hardboiled Eggs

We meal prep hard-boiled eggs almost every week, so we are no stranger to having them in our fridge. Some of our favorite, simple ways to use them as a snack include –

• Adding to salads for extra protein
• Layering on top of your morning Avocado Toast
• Sprinkling with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning blend

Another favorite is topping with a bit of pesto for a flavorful snack. We love this Homemade Basil Pesto recipe. A store bought favorite is the vegan Kale, Cashew and Basil Pesto from Trader Joe’s.
