Egg Salad
Deviled Eggs
Pickled Eggs
Scotch Eggs

That's all I can thin k of right now.

Check out this site which has 10 ideas for leftover hard boiled eggs, here.

Here's something we used to do - Chinese Tea Eggs! Kind of fun to make and actually pretty tasty.

My favorite though is Izatryt's recommendation - Scotch Eggs with plenty of hot spicy mustard.

Have fun and enjoy.

Pepin's recipe for dressed hardboiled eggs. Yummmy!

Eggs Jeanette

3 hard-cooked eggs (see note below)
1+ tablespoons milk
1 clove garlic, chopped fine
1/2 Tablespoon dried thyme
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter

Cut the eggs in half crosswise at the widest point. Remove the yolks mash them, using a fork, with milk, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. The mixture should be moist and hold together. Restuff the whites with the yolk mixture, reserving approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons for the sauce.

Heat the oil and butter in a skillet, preferably the nonstick type. When the oil and butter are hot and foaming, place the egg halves, stuffed side down, in the skillet. Fry at medium heat for about 2 minutes. They will brown beautifully on the stuffed side. (Egg whites do not brown well and get tough if cooked in the hot fat.) Remove the eggs from the skillet, and arrange them over the sauce. Serve lukewarm or at room temperature with crusty French bread.

Egg Dressing

Approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons leftover egg-yolk mixture
1 Tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon water
Dash of salt
Dash of white pepper
Approx. 1/4 cup olive oil

Combine everything but the olive oil in a bowl. Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking until you have a nice sauce consistency.

Lemon Dill Egg Salad

With a few more ingredients, this egg salad is truly delicious.

Ingredients

6 hard cooked eggs, chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 strips bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
1/2 C. red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 tsp. lemon pepper
1 tsp. dried dill weed
3/4 C. reduced fat ranch salad dressing

Directions

Toss all ingredients together and chill for at least 1 hour. Good with sliced tomatoes and lettuce leaves on a French roll.

Chew on That

Make a Bechamel sauce and add Tarragon, Scallion and Colman's mustard powder. Slice the eggs and place on toast points, nap with the sauce and enjoy!

Extra points if you top the eggs on toast with caviar.

Egg salad or deviled eggs would probably be your best bet, like several others have said.

If I had 6 hard-boiled eggs handy, they wouldn't last long around here. I like egg salad, or I'll eat them with salt.

sliced over a spinach salad

In addition to those listed above, I like to add them to a potato salad. Now, I'm thinking summer and picnics! Pickled eggs are another possibility, but I don't care for them me own self. Ironically, I made egg salad today and considered just making deviled eggs, but we needed sandwiches. Deviled eggs also remind me of summer picnics. I hate winter. Just sayin'......

You sound surprised. Were you expecting them to be something else? A veal chop? Or maybe six soft-boiled eggs?

I just keep mine in the fridge for a quick breakfast with some toast and coffee.

Definitely deviled eggs. I always thought that was the reason God made boiled eggs the way they are.

@missjess Thanks for the Pepin recipe. A nice lunch. Sounds great, so easy and no trip to the grocery store.

Eat. Them.
