The best leftover hard boiled eggs recipes.

Don’t know what to do with all of your leftover hard boiled eggs? Check out these keto recipes using hard boiled eggs so you use them before they go bad!

LEFTOVER HARD BOILED EGGS RECIPES

So many of us hard boiled egg lovers share this problem. You make up a large batch of hard boiled eggs and a few days later, you have a bunch left and they’re about to go bad!

We don’t really want to eat 6 hard boiled eggs in one day, but we definitely don’t want them to go to waste either. To help you and us out, we found a whole lot of awesome recipes to use up your leftover hard boiled eggs!

The best leftover hard boiled egg recipes

So all of these leftover egg recipes are going to be low carb and keto friendly. So you won’t be seeing a lot of the normal macaroni salad, potato salad, pasta salads and stuff of the sort.

Instead we’re going to be sharing lower carb versions of those and we’ve found some pretty neat alternative ways to use hard boiled eggs. Like stuffing them in a keto meatloaf whole!

And of course some of the typical ways you’d eat hard boiled eggs like in deviled eggs (but we add relish), egg salad and cobb salads.

How long are hard boiled eggs good for?

Before they become all slimey, the best hard boiled eggs are eaten within a week of boiling. A helpful tip to remember how long your eggs have been in the fridge is to write the date that you cooked them on the shell. 

Or if you’re like me and peel them all right after they’ve cooled, put a sticky note with the date on top of your storage container. These are some of my favorite glass storage containers. 

Also check out this post we wrote about keto meal prep tools for a bunch of our other favorites. We also wrote a post and shared tips for keto meal prep!

How to peel hard boiled eggs

For amazingly easy peel hard boiled eggs, soak them in a cold water bath after boiling. After about 10 minutes, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell. This method works great for older eggs (not farm fresh – basically any that you will get from the grocery store).

If you do get farm fresh eggs, you know they are different from store bought ones, especially if you’ve ever tried to hard boil them. Lara wrote this post about how to hard boil farm fresh eggs so they peel easily. She uses a secret ingredient that you wouldn’t expect!

And if you have an Instant Pot (Lara’s favorite kitchen accessory!) then by far this is the EASIEST way we’ve found to cook eggs so they peel perfectly! We wrote about Instant Pot hard boiled eggs in this post. 

How to tell if an egg is hard boiled?

We’ve got a fun one for you to try. If you’re not sure if an egg is raw or hard boiled, sit it on its side on your counter. Spin the egg, stop it with your finger, and immediately take your finger off the egg.

A hard boiled egg will stop spinning when you remove your finger from it, since it is solid on the inside. A raw egg will keep spinning when you remove your finger, as the liquid inside the egg will continue to spin.

Leftover hard boiled egg nutrition

In one large leftover hard boiled egg, there are about:

  • Calories – 78kcals
  • Fat – 5.3g
  • Carbs – 0.6g
  • Protein – 6.3g

Do hard boiled eggs need to be refrigerated?

Yes, hard boiled eggs should be refrigerated if not eaten immediately. 

Can you freeze hard boiled eggs?

You probably won’t want to freeze your hard boiled eggs. Once frozen and thawed, the white of the hard boiled eggs becomes tough and rubbery. So, we recommend the fridge as your mode of storage.

Other FAQs about hard boiled eggs

How much Protein in a hard boiled egg?

Just the same as any other cooked or uncooked large chicken egg, there are about 6.3g of protein in a hard boiled egg.

How many carbs in a hard boiled egg?

With less than 1 gram of carbs in an egg, these yummy, versatile little babies make a great keto snack, meal, or recipe addition!

Can dogs eat hard boiled eggs?

You bet dogs can eat hard boiled eggs! Eggs are a good source of protein and fats for both humans and dogs, but you should probably stick to giving them to your dog as a once-in-a-while treat rather than a regular snack. 

Are hard boiled eggs good for you?

Hard boiled eggs are an excellent part of a nutritious diet! Eggs are filled with protein and healthy fats, which are essential for our diets. Not to mention, they can help to keep you full longer to avoid grabbling a less friendly snack later!

We prefer to get local farm fresh eggs when possible. And if you haven’t tried ducks eggs, you definitely should! The duck yolks are so much bigger than chicken yolks and the taste is better too in my opinion.
