1001 Ways to Combine Leftover Boiled Eggs and Canned Mushroom Products

Nashville Seasons (The Junior League of Nashville, 1964) is super-classy because instead of having pictures of food on the cover, it features mostly-naked statues covering their naughty bits with flowers and sashes.



I found soooo many weird recipes in here that I wasn't sure what to do... but it's after Easter and everybody is still trying to use up leftover Easter eggs, so I raided the hard-cooked egg casserole section. (It's pretty extensive, as there are plenty of other recipes I didn't even include. I guess Nashvillians have a lot of hard-cooked eggs.)

For the not-very-hardcore hard-cookers, we'll start with Coronado Casserole.


It will use up the last half-dozen eggs with some olives, pimento, and condensed mushroom soup, all topped with the classic crushed potato chips. It's hard to imagine a more 1960s casserole than that!

Have a couple more leftover eggs (and really love canned soup)?


Creole Egg Casserole uses up the last eight boiled eggs, with plenty of tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup, and butter in the almost-credibly-Creole sauce. (It has the holy trinity plus Tabasco!)

If you've still got a full dozen eggs left over, not to mention all that Easter ham, you'll want Ham and Egg Casserole.


This one even allows for the possibility of using fresh mushrooms and cream sauce as an alternative to the canned mushrooms and cream soup, so it's classy.

Are you still trying to use  up more than a dozen leftover eggs before they go bad?


Well, adding a little curry powder to the canned mushroom soup might help cover up that less-than-farm-fresh flavor.

And if you planned for the extended family to come for the egg hunt and everybody went to see Hellboy instead, well, you can turn that pile of way more eggs than you can reasonably eat into a much larger casserole than you can reasonably eat.


Season to taste with cayenne, Worcestershire, and your salty, salty tears. Or just egg your relatives' houses with Easter eggs for a festive touch.

P.S.- The theater for Hellboy was nearly empty on Easter, so your relatives were probably lying to you about where they went.

  1. It sounds like people should be having an egg-citing week given the leftovers from last weekend. I think that there is a reason why I like my hard cooked eggs with a little salt, and not much else.
