By Cheri SicardWhat are you going to do with all of those eggs? We love coloring eggs as much as anyone. But we HATE wasting food. What follows is a list of five more fabulous recipes to make with leftover eggs. Oh, by the way, you don't have to wait till Easter to enjoy these recipes.
Egg
Salad Beef & Pork Meatloaf Note from Cheri: This is my sister, Bambi Burnes's personal favorite meatloaf recipe. She likes to serve this one with onion gravy. If you want to add the optional hard boiled eggs, just fill the meatloaf pan half full, insert the whole, hard boiled eggs in the center, and fill in with the rest of the meatloaf mixture. This makes for a great presentation when the meatloaf is cut open. 2 cups bread crumbs 1 pound lean ground beef 1 pound lean ground pork 1 egg, slightly beaten 3 T chopped parsley 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 1/2 tsp. thyme 1/2 tsp pepper 1 1/2 tsp. salt 3 hard boiled eggs, peeled (optional) Serves 8 Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Mix all ingredients together. Shape into a loaf pan. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. If desired, spoon onion gravy over baked meatloaf slices.

It's still my favorite kind, although the addition of cilantro is mine (if you don't like cilantro, leave it out). Serve in a big, wide bowl and use the tomatoes, cucumber slices to decorate the top, these ingredients will get mixed in as people serve the salad. 5 pounds potatoes peeled 2-3 stalks celery, finely chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1/4 C cider vinegar 1/4 C cilantro, stemmed and chopped 1 T Dijon mustard salt and pepper to taste 1 cup mayonnaise 6-8 hard boiled eggs 3-4 ripe tomatoes, cut in wedges 1-2 cucumbers, cut in slices Serves 12-14 Cut peeled potatoes into cubes and cook in boiling water until tender -- do not overcook. Drain and cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except tomatoes, and cumcumbers. Mix well to combine flavors. Arrange tomatoes and cucumbers on top. Cover and chill thoroughly before serving. Click here for a printer-friendly recipe Cobb Salad Note from Cheri: This classic Main Dish Salad is a quick to fix dinner. Did you know that the original Cobb Salad recipe came from Hollywood's legendary restaurant the Brown Derby. Unfortunately, the Derby is no more, but it will live on forever in reruns of I Love Lucy, and in this salad. 3 -4 C Romaine lettuce, shredded 2 med ripe tomatoes, diced 1 large avocado, diced 4 slices bacon 3 T blue cheese, crumbled 1 C cooked turkey or chicken breast, diced 2 hard boiled eggs 2 T diced olives (optional) Blue Cheese Dressing (or dressing of choice) Serves 2 Place shredded lettuce in a bowl and arrange remaining ingredients in rows on top.

Pour cream, milk or half and half over the whole dish until it comes about halfway up the side of the dish. Place in oven until heated and browned, about 4-6 minutes. |
