This Easter, I attempted to dye Easter eggs using natural dyes (beets, blueberry juice, curry, paprika, etc) but I used too much vinegar and the outer layer of shell and color fell off when I rinsed them. So there I was with 12, really ugly hard boiled eggs and did I mention I'm not a big fan of hard boiled eggs? The only way I like to eat hard boiled eggs is the way my dad made them when we were kids. Brian looked at me like I was crazy when I made a bowl for breakfast, then he tried a bite and liked it. Parker and I just shared some of these eggs and he devoured 2 bowls and wanted more!
Here's the very simple and delicious recipe if you want to give it a try.
Grampy's Smooshed Eggs
1-2 hard boiled eggs, peeled
1 pat of butter
salt and pepper
Slice up or chop eggs and place is a bowl. Microwave until hot, usually between 30-60 sec. Drop in the pat of butter. Using a fork; smash and smoosh the eggs into bite size chunks. Sprinkle w/ salt and pepper. Enjoy!
You did get some great pictures Amy. I can remember my mom fixing eggs like your smooshed eggs when I was little. I will have to try it again. Thanks
