At Easter we traditionally cook quite a lot of hard-boiled eggs. And often there is a question about how long they can be stored and where to use them. UNN studied this issue.
Storage of hard-boiled eggs
Hard-boiled eggs have a lower shelf life than raw eggs. Naturally, they should be stored in the refrigerator. Unshelled hard-boiled eggs should be kept for no more than 4 days, and peeled or stuffed eggs for no more than 48 hours.
What to do with boiled eggs
Hard-boiled eggs are a great base for salads and appetizers.
You can prepare, for example, a salad with green onions and cucumber, dressing it to your taste with sour cream or vegetable oil.
And you can make “Celtic Salad.”

Ingredients
- Puff pastry without yeast - 450 g

If the puff pastry is frozen - defrost it.
The spinach should be rinsed well. Pat it dry with a paper towel and chop coarsely. Chop the peeled garlic coarsely as well.
Pour the vegetable oil into a deep pan and add the butter to it. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic prepared in advance to the skillet. Roast the garlic while stirring constantly for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add the prepared spinach and saute everything for 1 to 1.5 minutes.
Place the cottage cheese in a deep bowl and beat with a blender or rub through a sieve. If desired, you can replace the cottage cheese with the same amount of ricotta.
Add the cooked spinach and garlic to the cottage cheese and beat in the egg. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the cottage cheese filling. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and add it to the cottage cheese filling, mix well. You can use any semi-hard cheese in this recipe.
Divide the puff pastry into two parts - one should be slightly larger. Roll out the larger part and place it in a baking mold, pre-greased with butter. Spread the dough over the surface of the prepared pie mold. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork.
