How long do hard boiled eggs last?

On Thursday before Easter I dyed the eggs but did not have time to post about them.

We did not eat any as we were fasting so I stored them in the refrigerator.

Hard-boiled eggs in their shells can be stored in the refrigerator for a week.

Yesterday I wanted to make something different with a lot of leftover eggs I had because the children like cracking the eggs to see who will be the winner but never eat any.

I wanted to make something attractive for them to eat but unfortunately I did not think of buying some mayonnaise on Friday.  

That’s why I made some homemade mayonnaise yesterday.

Today I still had some eggs but I also had leftover mayonnaise from yesterday as well as tzatziki.

So I halved the eggs and sprinkled them with salt and pepper (this time I used white pepper).

I mashed the eggs with a fork but did not cream them and added two spoonfuls of mayonnaise and three spoonfuls of tzatziki as well as some extra salt and pepper.

I filled the egg whites with a spoon and decorated them with kalamata olives, capers and peppers.

Voilá, the result was excellent.

I always salt and pepper the yolks before filling, so many receipts I want to try for the holidays.

Hi Pixie and Val.It's the first time I've heard of devilled eggs although I knew about stuffed eggs, mushing the yolks and putting mayonnaise but with the rest I am just following my instincts but I just google searched and you are right. I shall correct the name. The combination of tzatziki with mayo is an original idea of mine and it tastes wonderful.
