Easter Celebration
 Easter is a time of spring festivals. It marks the end of Lent, which covers a 46-day
period that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday.
Of all the symbols associated with Easter, the egg -- the symbol of fertility
and new life -- is the most recognizable. The custom of giving eggs at Easter
time can be traced back to ancient Egyptians, Persians, Gauls, Greeks and Romans.
It is the universal symbol of Easter celebrations throughout the world and has
been dyed, painted, adorned and otherwise embellished in commemoration of its
special symbolism. The egg is nature's perfect package.
It is also one of the most versatile foods. Eggs can be prepared in a myriad of ways, from simple scrambled eggs to an elegant omelet, and they provide an inexpensive and easily available source of protein.
Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce is a natural flavor enhancer
for eggs. Even kids think eggs taste better with a drop or
two of pepper sauce (the classic red or the milder green)
which lends piquancy without adding heat. More adventurous
types will add an extra dash.
Brighten up breakfast with Scrambled
Eggs Piperade. Ordinary scrambled eggs take on
a fiery personality when made with TABASCO® Sauce, and served with a piperade of sautèed
onions and red and green bell peppers atop toasted slices
of whole wheat bread. Simple to prepare, this dish is perfect
for weekday breakfast, weekend brunch or even a light supper.
 Another
surprisingly good dish is
Poached Eggs and Tomato with Spicy Mayonnaise.
Toasted English muffin halves are topped with a thick slice
of tomato, poached eggs and a dollop of mayonnaise flavored
with TABASCO® Sauce and chopped fresh parsley.
It's an irresistible choice guaranteed to spice up any morning.
When in the mood for an omelet, try Classic
Omelets, to which you can add your choice of fillings
-- delectable combinations of ingredients punched up with
generous amounts of TABASCO® Sauce.
Two egg dishes perfect for entertaining guests at Sunday
brunch are Soufflé
Aux Fruits De Mer, developed by Princess Marie
Blanche De Broglie who teaches classes at a cooking school
in Paris, and Poached Eggs Creole .
