Simple Egg Salad Recipe

Are you looking for a simple and delicious egg salad recipe? If so, then you have come to the right place.

I'm going to show you how I make my simple egg salad, using only a few ingredients.

This egg salad is so creamy and delicious. It's perfect for your classic egg salad sandwich, or enjoy it on your favorite crackers as a snack.

First, you need to hard-boil your eggs. You can do this by placing them in boiling water for 10 minutes. I don't like to boil my eggs because sometimes the eggs tend to crack while boiling.


Steamed Hard Boiled Eggs

I like to steam my eggs by placing about 2 inches of water in a double boiler. Bring the water to a boil. Place the eggs in the top pan, cover them, and steam them for 12 minutes. You'll get perfect hard-boiled eggs every time.

Cooling hard boiled eggs

After the eggs are steamed, I place them back in the pot with cold water and ice. Leave them for about ten to fifteen minutes. This cooling down period makes them so easy to peel.

Simple Egg Salad Ingredients:

6 hard-boiled or steamed eggs
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste

I separate the yolks from the whites and mash the yolks with a fork. Then, chop up the whites into small pieces. In a bowl combine the yolks and whites, add the mayonnaise, onions, and mustard, and mix until the egg salad is nice and creamy. 

Perfect Egg Salad

Garnish with the paprika, add salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy this nice creamy egg salad. Some variations if you like a little more flavor and texture to your egg salad, try adding some chopped pickles, parsley, or celery. You can also experiment with different types of mustard, such as Dijon, or whole grain.

What a perfect way to use up those beautiful dyed Easter Eggs.

  3. When I was a child, my mother ate egg salad sandwiches. As a child, they did not appeal to me. However, reading your recipe and instructions here, I am sure I would love them. Thank you for sharing the recipe and for featuring my two recipes for using dyed Easter eggs. btw, I have never steamed eggs before. I always hard boil them in water & salt, but I will definitely try your steaming method.

  7. Sam, this is my favorite sandwich, egg salad - thanks for the quick and easy recipe - it's reminded me to make an effort to make it - I had totally forgotten about it - makes me miss my mom too - when I would go stay with her, she knew this was my fave and would always have some made in the fridge for me, ready to eat. Man I miss her so much when I think of moments like this; I see her face.
