5 Creative Recipes to Use Up Your Hard-Boiled Eggs

After Easter, you might find yourself with an abundance of hard-boiled eggs. Instead of just making salads, try these simple, delicious, and nutritious recipes to make the most of your hard-boiled eggs.

Fried Pies with Egg and Green Onion Filling

Ingredients

For the filling:
  • 4 eggs
  • 300g green onions
  • Salt to taste
For the dough:
  • 450g flour + extra for shaping
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 300ml 3.2% fat kefir
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil + extra for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add salt, sugar, and baking soda, then mix thoroughly. Gradually add kefir while continuously stirring. Pour in the vegetable oil and knead the dough. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Prepare the filling: Hard-boil the eggs for 10 minutes, cool, peel, and chop them. Wash the green onions, dry, and chop into rings. Mix in a bowl, add salt to taste, and combine with the eggs.
  3. Shape the pies: Roll out the dough on a floured surface and form a thick rope. Cut it into pieces the size of a large plum. Shape them into balls, sprinkle with flour, and cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
  4. Fill and fry: Dip your hand in flour and take a dough ball. Flatten it into a disc, place 1-2 teaspoons of the egg and onion filling in the center, and pinch the edges tightly. Place the pies on a floured board with the seam side down.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan until slightly smoking. Reduce the heat, add the pies, and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side. Place the fried pies on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

For extra fluffy pies, use kefir that has been at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
