Hard Boiled Egg and Peppers Pitas

Super simple. Attractive and tasty way to get rid of leftover Easter eggs. Using eggs that have been boiled and sitting in the fridge for a day or two makes slicing easier. Boiling your eggs with a little salt makes for easier peeling. Try adding different things to the recipe, very versatile. I like adding Greek olives, or occasionally baby spinach leaves tossed with balsamic vinaigrette. It also works well with grated parmesan cheese, or other hard white cheeses. Show more
