How about a topper for
making vegetables more
interesting? This one uses
leftover Easter eggs
beautifully. Pour medium
white sauce over cooked
vegetables (green beans,
asparagus, cauliflower,
broccoli) then sprinkle with
a mixture of sieved hard
cooked egg yolks, chopped
parsley and chopped hard
cooked egg whites. If you
want to get fancy, you can
call the dish Green Beans
Mimosa, the name for this
topper.
