Are you a fan of hard boiled eggs?

Growing up, I don’t recall hard boiled eggs ever being served to us as a breakfast or snack item.

I do recall seeing them on Chef Salads at school and generally avoiding them because they were somewhat of a foreign food to me.

I did however, have the occasional egg salad sandwich, which was edible but not loved.

My mom always made the traditional kind with eggs, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and a little celery.

YIELD: 8 SMALL CROISSANTS OR 4 LARGE CROISSANTS
