Easter Eggs

If you want to quickly prepare a half-dozen hard-boiled eggs for Easter, this gadget comes in quite handy. You'll never run the risk of a cracked shell or a runny yolk ever again.

Another way to enjoy Easter eggs this year is to pick up a loaf of cardamom bread at Amy's Bread. Hard-boiled eggs are baked into the circular loaf. (This bread has been selling out before 11 a.m., so if you miss the deadline, ask for the eggy, sugar-streaked hot cross buns.)

Amy's Bread: Chelsea Market, 75 9th Ave., (212) 462-4338.
