Hard boiled eggs are relished everywhere. They may be mashed and seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil. Or they may be sliced and arranged on a platter with shredded lettuce, mint leaves, scallions, sliced tomatoes, onions, boiled potatoes and cucumbers for a light summer meal. Oil and lemon is the favorite dressing for this egg salad.

Many variations of omelets are prepared. A parsley omelet is a particular favorite. It is customary to fry the omelets in olive oil or vegetable shortening rather than butter. Sometimes the egg mixture is fried by the spoonful in a pan made especially for this purpose which has half a dozen depressions in its surface to give shape to the small omelets.
