What To Do With Leftover Easter Eggs (10 Easy Recipes And Ideas)

In order to have leftover Easter eggs, you first need to hard boil a bunch of eggs to color them. For some tips on that, check out our How To Make Hard Boiled Eggs post. Follow that method and you’ll have perfect eggs every time.

Deviled Eggs With Tajin

Deviled eggs start by hard boiling eggs, so, when you start with Easter eggs, you’re already done with the longest part of the recipe.

Mix the yolks with mayo and rice wine vinegar, then top with a sprinkle of Tajin seasoning for a sweet and spicy finish.

Egg Salad Sandwich

Hard boiled eggs are the main ingredient in this classic Egg Salad Sandwich. So, having leftover hard boiled eggs from Easter makes this such an easy recipe.

All you need to do is peel the hard boiled eggs, add them to the other ingredients, toast some bread, and lunch is ready.

Grilled Chicken Salad

Adding a hard boiled egg to a salad with lots of veggies is a great way to add some extra protein, especially if you don’t feel like grilling chicken, like you do for this grilled chicken salad recipe (which is sort of a riff on a classic Cobb salad).

And, taking a leftover Easter egg and being able to just slice it and throw it in any green salad makes your life easier and your lunch tastier.

Deviled Egg Potato Salad

This deviled egg potato salad recipe uses eight eggs total, so that’s a great way to get rid of almost the whole dozen Easter eggs.

This egg-heavy potato salad is a great addition to your Easter dinner, too, because it goes really well with ham (which is most people’s favorite recipe for Easter dinner). So it’s a great way to use those leftover eggs right away.

Hard Boiled Egg Toast

A really simple way to use up hard boiled eggs is to eat them on toast with a drizzle of olive oil, and add a little salt.

It’s a great recipe for Easter breakfast, when you’re trying to quickly get some food into your kids before they binge all the chocolate the Easter bunny brought them. You could also add some mashed avocados on the bottom and some crispy bacon on top for a little more flavor.

Classic Potato Salad

Chop the leftover Easter eggs and add them to your potato salad to add a really nice flavor and creamy texture.

This is a great side dish for your Easter dinner too, so you can use up those leftover eggs right away.

Tuna Fish Sandwich

Add a leftover Easter egg to your tuna salad for a really elevated sandwich.

Mix the chopped egg in with tuna and mayo, add some seasoning and your favorite toppings, stick it between slices of toast, and all your Easter eggs will be eaten by the time lunchtime is over.

Add An Egg To Ramen

Adding a hard boiled egg to ramen is such a delicious way to eat it.

Now, traditionally, you poach the egg in the ramen broth, so it’s a soft boil, but you can still just add a leftover Easter egg. It’s a little different because you don’t have a runny yolk to flavor the broth, but you do still get a delicious depth of flavor.

Add An Egg To Fried Rice

Usually, a raw egg is added to fried rice before it’s finished and cooked in the same wok to incorporate it.

But, when you have leftover Easter eggs, you improvise. Chop the egg and add it to the almost finished fried rice. It’ll give a very similar flavor, just with a different method.

Make A Breakfast Burrito

Believe it or not, leftover Easter chocolate and Cadbury mini eggs isn’t what you should be eating for breakfast after Easter.

Instead, take some leftover Easter eggs, slice them, and add them to a breakfast burrito with bacon, avocado, and salsa (or whatever breakfast items you prefer) for something with a little less sugar.
