Egg Salad

DifficultyBeginner
Yields2 Servings
 6 eggs
 ¼ cup Mayonnaise
 pinch of salt
 Bread or bagels for serving
 Lettuce for making sandwiches
 Optional garnishes: tomatoes, olive, pickles, relish, chopped celery, cucumbers, scallions, minced onions and any other garnishes of choice
1

Place eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil (just shy of the full boil, but a steady simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to sit in hot water and very gently cook for 20 minutes. Then place them in cold water for a minute and peel them immediately after.

2

Separate egg whites and yolks. Toss egg yolks into a large bowl, add mayo and a pinch of salt (I season my egg salad lightly.) Whisk until creamy yellow sauce has formed.

3

Add egg whites to the bowl and using the same whisk, mash them up to the desired consistency. I prefer plenty of differently sized egg white pieces in my salad. Taste, and season your salad with more salt, according to taste. Serve on a fresh slice of bread with some lettuce.

4

Feel free to serve additional garnishes on the side or fold them into your egg salad, if desired.
