Chopped Egg Stuffing

Though it may not be apparent, Europeans never throw away bread. The tradition is that bread is akin to gold and should always be used even when it is a day old.

Italians are especially good at using day–old bread for everything from salad croutons (crostino) to stuffing for holiday chicken and turkey.

Although Italians do not celebrate Thanksgiving Day, they serve stuffed chicken and turkey in various regions of Italy for Sunday dinners or special celebrations. The chicken and turkey might be stuffed whole or rolled up in slices of breast meat or in thighs stuffed to the brim.

You can be assured everyone will love an Italian style stuffed chicken or turkey with a Chopped Egg Stuffing if you've never had the pleasure. Fresh ingredients come directly from Italy's gardens directly to la cuchina (kitchens) where cooks use Chopped Egg Stuffing not just for roast chicken or turkey, but also for stuffing for tomatoes, peppers, artichokes, zucchini and melanzana (eggplant) stuffed whole or rolled into rollatini.

In some areas of Italy where fish is plentiful, fish is also stuffed with bread and chopped eggs while in the northern part of Italy, rolled slices of flank steak known as braciole are also stuffed with day old bread cubes, fresh basil and chopped eggs as well as other regional ingredients.

One quick tip to make hard boiled eggs easier to use in recipes is to boil them in one tablespoon of vinegar (any type) and a dash of salt. Salt heats up water temperature. When the eggs are fully hard cooked, place a lid over the top to make removing the shells faster and easier. Then, grate peeled hard cooked eggs with a cheese grater into a bowl.
