Jim (my husband) has a few recipes up his sleeve that we all love, and his egg salad is the best! We request it often. Warning: cooking hard-boiled eggs may cause your house to have a certain aroma. 😫
Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- Mayonnaise (quantity explained below)
- 3 drops of mustard
- Ground pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- Potato masher (this utensil seems to hide in plain site)
Instructions
- Prepare Eggs
- Peel the hard-boiled eggs and add them to a mixing bowl. If you only have fewer eggs, adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
- Mash Eggs
- Use a potato masher to smash the eggs to your preferred consistency. Jim likes them finely mashed, but you can leave some chunks if you prefer.
- Add Mayonnaise
- For every 3 eggs, add enough mayonnaise as if you were making one sandwich. Start with a small amount and add more if needed to reach your desired creaminess. You do not want to overdo the mayo, as it can overwhelm the salad.
- Add Mustard
- Add one drop of mustard for every two eggs. Adjust according to your taste. If you are not a fan of mustard, use even less.
- Season
- Mix in salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve
- Best served on toast, but it’s also great in sandwiches or on its own as a side dish.
- Add spinach or spring mix for some freshness.
