Perfect way to use up the spoils from the Easter egg hunt... this is almost identical to a dish that Ed and I had on our cozy cottage honeymoon, except that the eggs were served on a bed of thinly sliced smoked ham. Our personal preference is for a bit less onion; adjust as you wish. It's quick and delicious served with a side of the freshest fruit.
