Dear Just Be: I have so many hard boiled Easter Eggs I don't know what to do with them all. Any recipes you can share?

We have a few Deviled Egg recipes just for this need!

Bacon-Balsamic Deviled Eggs
12 eggs
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions
1. Peel and halve hard boiled eggs lengthwise. Separate the yolks from the whites, placing the yolks in a bowl; arrange the egg whites with the rounded side down onto a serving platter.
2. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; chop.
3. Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the bacon, mayonnaise, onion, sugar, vinegar, celery salt, and pepper; stir until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture into the egg whites. Garnish with parsley.

Spicy Deviled Eggs

12 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
1 pinch salt and black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground paprika, for dusting (divided)
1 (6 ounce) can black olives, drained and cut in half horizontally

Directions
1. Peel the eggs. Cut each egg in half lengthwise, remove the yolks, and place the yolks in a bowl with the mustard, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, and salt and pepper. Mash the yolks, and stir the mixture until smooth and thoroughly combined.
2. Fill each egg half with the deviled yolk mixture, using a spoon, piping bag, or a sturdy plastic bag with a corner cut off. Dust each egg with a pinch of paprika, and place an olive half, round side up, in the center of each. Refrigerate until chilled, 20 to 30 minutes, and serve cold.

Avocado Egg Salad

Ingredients
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and cubed
1/2 cup minced red onion
3 tablespoons chopped sweet pickles
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
1. Mash the eggs with a fork in a mixing bowl to break up. Add the avocado, onion, pickle, mustard, and mayonnaise. Gently smash the ingredients together until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cobb Sandwich

Ingredients
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
8 slices multigrain bread
2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced
1 ripe avocado, sliced
8 slices cooked bacon
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped

Directions
1. Prepare the sandwich spread by mixing together the mayonnaise and blue cheese dressing. Spread 2 tablespoons on one side of each slice of bread. Top 4 of the prepared pieces of bread with 1/4 each of the chicken, avocado, bacon, hard boiled eggs, and lettuce. Top each sandwich with another slice of bread and serve with the remaining blue cheese spread on the side.
