Easter Basket Egg Salad Rolls - Fun Easter Brunch Idea
If you're looking for a fun Easter brunch idea, these Easter Basket Egg Salad Rolls are sure to impress. They're made with soft, savory Hawaiian rolls, creamy egg salad, and crispy "tortilla" basket handles.
Equipment
- 2 ½ inch biscuit cutter
- 2 inch biscuit cutter
- 2 quarter sheet pans
- Parchment paper
- Small knife
- Bread Knife
- 2 teaspoon scoop
Ingredients
- 2 10-inch flour tortillas
- 12 pack of King's Hawaiian Savory Buttery Rolls (See Tip 1)
- 1 ½ cups prepared egg salad (See Tip 2)
- 24 small celery sticks
- 24 small carrot sticks
- 36 to 48 small sprigs of dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°Degrees. Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using a 2 ½-inch round cutter, cut circles from the flour tortillas. Then use a 2-inch cutter, slightly offset to create a curved handle shape.
- Place the handles on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with parchment paper and cover with a second baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool completely. (See Tip 3)
- Cut the Hawaiian rolls into uniform sizes with a bread knife. (See Tip 4)
- Using a small knife, carefully cut a square from the top of each Hawaiian roll. Gently remove the interior to create a cavity, leaving enough structure to hold the filling.
- Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of egg salad into each roll, slightly mounding the filling. (See Tip 5)
- Insert a tortilla handle into each roll. Tuck in a small celery stick and carrot stick, and add fresh dill to resemble grass, for a colorful, spring-inspired look.
- Yield: 12 Easter Basket Egg Salad Rolls

Tips/Notes
- Because this is a savory dish, it's best to use the King's Hawaiian Butter Savory Rolls as opposed to the Sweet Hawaiian Rolls.
- My egg salad recipe works perfectly in this recipe. Alternatively, use your favorite egg salad recipe.
- The reason for covering the cut tortilla handles with a second baking sheet before baking is to prevent them from curling.
- If you've ever used King's Hawaiian Rolls, you likely know that they are typically not of uniform size, and that tearing them apart produces uneven sides. The purpose of cutting them with a knife is to produce even, uniform sizes.
- I found that I needed 2 scoops of egg salad to fill the cavities when using a 2-teaspoon scoop. Alternatively, you can use a spoon to fill the cavities.
