Grilled Egg and Cheese Sandwich Recipe to Use Leftover Easter Eggs

Easter is a great time to teach kids one of those hands-on, life long cooking skills; how-to hard-boil an egg. Every year at Easter we hard-boil eggs for decorating and every year I remind my kids how to do it until they get old enough to remember.  The question always remains, what do we do with a dozen to two dozen eggs after we’ve decorated our hearts out with a gazillion different egg decorating options?  Over the years we’ve simply peeled and eaten, we’ve made many different flavors of deviled eggs and thankfully, two out of my three kids love egg salad sandwiches.

Now, we’ve added a little twist into our post Easter hard-boiled egg eating activities; it’s the Grilled Egg and Cheese Sandwich, which is great for a quick breakfast grab and go or for lunch.  Either way, we are glad to have one more recipe to use as we eat up all of our decorated fun.
