Eggs and egg dishes might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think picnic food, but they\u2019re actually a great option for the busy summer season, as they pack a protein punch and are super portable. We all know egg salad is delicious, especially when you switch it up with fun flavors like sriracha, dill or curry, but this summer, why not try some picnic picks that feature eggs in a totally new way? Whether you\u2019re spending the whole day out and about or just enjoying a midday lunch date, read on for fun ways to egg-spand your picnic palate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p>If you\u2019re headed out for a long day at the beach or water park, prep some of these&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eggnutritioncenter.org\/recipe\/spicy-black-bean-breakfast-burrito\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Spicy Black Bean Breakfast<\/strong>&nbsp;Burritos<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/incredibleegg.wpengine.com\/recipe\/bacon-egg-mushroom-burritos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bacon, Egg and Mushroom Burritos<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;in advance to fuel your adventures. Bring a burrito along for breakfast en route or to enjoy as you set up your spot in the sand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p>Be the hero of a potluck picnic with friends by bringing these super simple and nutrient dense&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/incredibleegg.wpengine.com\/recipe\/veggie-egg-pops\/\">V<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/incredibleegg.wpengine.com\/recipe\/veggie-egg-pops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eggie Egg Pops<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to snack on.

If you\u2019re worried about transporting the little devils, try placing each egg into its own cupcake liner. You can also pack the empty egg white halves in one container and the deviled egg filling in a food storage bag, then fill just before serving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p>Finally, don\u2019t forget dessert! Fruit salad is a simple and seasonal way to serve up something sweet, or try these&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eggnutritioncenter.org\/recipe\/cherry-cheesecake-baked-breakfast-bars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cherry Cheesecake Bars<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p>No matter how you choose to enjoy eggs during the summer picnic season, remember to keep cold foods cold (below 40\u00b0F) to make sure everyone stays safe and healthy. Pack food in a well-insulated cooler with plenty of ice or ice packs. It\u2019s easy to lose track of time when you\u2019re having fun with family and friends, but be careful not to let food sit out more than two hours and if the temperature rises higher than 90\u00b0F, stick to an hour or less. Bring a timer or set an alarm on your cell phone to remind you when it\u2019s time to put food away.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Egg Nutrition Center partnered with Kim Hoban, RDN, CDN, CPT to write this blog post.
