As Easter and the season of hardboiled eggs approaches, chefs from two popular restaurants in Prague, Café Savoy and Štangl, have shared their recipes for egg-based spreads. These spreads can be used as toppings for canapés or sandwiches, and are a great way to make use of the surplus of eggs you may have.

chef's tip

Serve these spreads atop a thick, crusty bread like sourdough (we like Bread 33 from Eska bakery in Prague), sprinkled with finely chopped onion and chives. Potato salad spread can be used to prepare the traditional Czech chlebičky, open-faced sandwiches.
