After Easter Egg Recipes
After Easter Sunday, when the egg hunts have been concluded, the Easter baskets raided, and the chocolate bunnies devoured, most are left with a carton or two of beautifully dyed hard boiled eggs. Instead of mashing them all into egg salad, try a few of these inspired recipes which call for a hard boiled egg or two.
Steak and Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are made even more savory with the addition of our garlicky, rich Perfect Roasted Beef Tenderloin. Old school crispy shoestring potatoes add texture and flavor like no other ingredient can. These deviled eggs are the perfect way to use the leftover "end" of the beef tenderloin and pair well with any Super Bowl food.
