Hiya pals! Easter is right around the corner. When I was a kid (and every year since...), I loved dying eggs! I also loved making stuff with the colorful hard boiled eggs. One of the first things I remember making on my own as a kid was deviled eggs. Not a lot of knife skills needed and mixing was fun.
Hard boiled eggs were a staple for me when I first stopped being a vegan. They were easy to have on hand to add to salads or eat as a snack. I have a nifty machine (this one is way fancier than mine is, but close) that makes perfect hard boiled eggs. Here is a guide if you need to cook them on the stove.
Ingredients:

- A dozen hard boiled eggs

- Crack and peel hard boiled eggs.
- Cut eggs in half the long way.
- Scoop out yokes and place in a bowl.
- Mix yokes with mayo and mustard.

- If using a resealable bag, cut one of the corners.

- Enjoy!

I also deviled some quail eggs. I found them at an Asian market near my house. They are hard to peel but sooooo cute! The shells are kinda blue, the pictures dont do them justice. I learned how to hard boil them here. I just eyeballed how much mayo and mustard to use for these cuties.
