It's maddening. Neither Encyclopedia nor Cool Guy will even taste a hard boiled egg. So, so easy, so nutritious, so portable, so REJECTED.
Still, every month or so, they appear on the breakfast table, always with other things, so that the boys will have something to eat. I wish they would at least try them, but it's not really a battle I'm ready to have a stand-off over. I continue to boil more eggs than get consumed, and then have eggs left over.
Here are some things I do. (Also, let me confess, I always boil more eggs than needed so that I WILL have extras)
1. Have them the next day cold while I fix oatmeal for the boys.
2. Slice them, cold, and serve them open face on buttered bread for lunch the next day.
3. Make tuna or egg salad.
4. Use them, quartered, in salads.
5. One from my mom: quarter them and serve over cooked spinach. (I'm still the only consumer, but it's an old favorite.)
I was playing around with egg salad the other day, and came up with a great version that Burt raved about. I diced up the eggs, and then added mashed avocado, a squirt of mustard, squirt of mayo, and had the best egg salad ever. Do try it.
