Italian Sausage & Basil Egg Appetizer

By: S. Rosen's Test Kitchen

Dyed eggs are a vital part of the Easter experience because whether it’s their symbolism, the fun of dyeing them or the egg hunt, it is a beloved tradition for many families.

What’s new this year is the egg prices. At these prices – those eggs better not go to waste! At the S. Rosen’s test kitchen, we developed these easy egg appetizers that are perfect for a brunch spread or a snack before the main meal.
