Egg Salad in Tomato Cups

Lookit how KEWT!!!

They just look like li’l eggs hiding out in grass, don’t they? Or like li’l baskets full of goodies just hanging out on a lawn. Or like li’l juicy tomatoes filled with a dill and caper egg salad, which is actually what they are!!! Gotcha!

These are perfect to make with leftover boiled eggs from Easter or whatnot. I wrote the recipe for one egg, but you can scale everything up for however many eggs you need to use up. Capers and dill are a natural fit with eggs and the tomato cups are just adorbz.
