Deviled eggs. For sure.

I totally agree with shoneyjoe. Then I read the list of suggested recipes and found that they are calling deviled eggs "stuffed eggs" . Since when has there been a need to call them that?

To me the whole concept of "leftover" hard cooked eggs is foreign. I love them in practically any incarnation possible. Deviled, egg salad, in salads, in potato salad, scotch eggs - the list goes on.
Lately I've been doing a very different (for me) potato salad. No mayo. It's new potatoes, slivered olives, slivered sun dried tomato, capers, shallots or scallion, parsley, with a nice quick mustard vinegrette. Some sliced HC eggs work wonderfully in that also and I would highly recommend trying them that way.

Am I the only one that puts mustard in my egg salad?
Also, I don't have any leftover hard boiled eggs (since I didn't make any for Easter)...but I think I'm going to boil up a dozen tonight!

i eat them plain for breakfast. or add them to tuna salad -- with mustard, no mayo. or slice them up and add them to my sandwich for lunch. i might have to try that sardine and egg salad sandwich...

People also use 'em in all kinds of wacked-out cookie recipes...

@Blogkitten: I use a sparse amount of yellow mustard, along with mayo, dill pickles, basil, crab, black pepper, Tony Chachere seasoning, and a shot of shoyu in my egg/potato/macaroni salad. I tend to eat my "mayo" salads alongside chili w/ rice, as well as in sandwiches...
@Phaelon: Yeesh, I haven't heard that - talk about taking PC to another level...
I also never have leftover hard boiled eggs. When I was a kid, my mother would spoon roe/caviar atop halved boiled eggs and we'd eat them as afternoon snacks.

Deviled eggs with wasabi tobikko is delicious. Or slice them thinly and add to chicken pastina soup.

We at Cafe Stellina in Seattle do an egg and avocade salad on pumpernickel that is outstanding. Top with paprika or for a real treat we serve it open face with a bit of black caviar on top.

I love deviled eggs, and egg salad (tuna, potato salad too), mixed with minced Tony Packo's pickles, and yes dijon mustard, yellow mustard, or spicy mustard are a must.
But Tony Packo's sweet hots just add a great mix of sweet and heat that goes great with hard boiled eggs.

Also I'm glad I made plenty of hard boiled eggs for Easter because my peeling skills were disastrous for the deviled eggs this Sunday!

Deviled eggs! My newest recipe has prosciutto, saffron, and capers. Yum.
@bobcatsteph3 read the tip in my link about salting the water.

Over the years, I've heard both deviled and stuffed for eggs. Don't think it's a PC thing as much as a regional thing.

add them to soups as a garnish.
