The Best Egg Salad Recipe

Hi everyone, I'm Kelly from spurventobox.com and today we're going to make a quick and easy egg

salad

. Egg

salad

is one of our favorite things because it's so simple and you always have eggs at home and it's great for back to school lunches or using up all those leftover hard boiled Easter eggs so to start I made my eggs boiled in an instant pot. You can do them in any way that suits you

best

. This is a great way to use up eggs that don't peel as well because they don't have to be perfect so the Instant Pot makes peeling eggs splendidly and you can watch that video sometime when you have time so We'll open the eggs and depending on the size of your eggs, you can use six or around six or seven eggs.

You're going to get a big batch of egg salad that you can make at the beginning of the week and what I'm going to do is cut the egg in half and we're going to scoop the yolk into the bowl and then you're going to save the whites. We'll use them a little later. We're going to put all the eggs, all the yolks in the bowl. And I found the

best

way to Break Eggs is to make sure you break them all the way around the egg instead of just hitting a couple of times on each side.

If you're going to break the whole shell, it comes off a little easier, take it out and we. I have three more left and make sure there are no shells left in there. I'm making a mess here, so I'm going to make sure there are no shells left in your egg salad. Whoever has the shell can wash it. the dishes is like a prize, I'm going to take out the last one and then we're going to add some mayonnaise to the bowl and what you're really going to do is create like a dressing with the egg yolks and your mayonnaise, so I like to use a good mayonnaise , just find one you like, don't use it too much if you do, I like to save one of my hard-boiled eggs in case I put too much mayonnaise on it right there.

I have an extra one just to make it less easy. Egg salad can be kind of bland and baby food-y, so I like to add a little texture where I can to make it taste better, okay? to make it smooth we're going to add a little bit of dry mustard and I'm not even going to measure it, I just put half a teaspoon in it and then you're going to mix it in and then we're going to add a little bit of salt and pepper, just sprinkle that on now that you've got the dressing made for your egg salad because it's not really a dressing, it's more like mixing it all together, kind of like egg salad glue, that sounds like. very appetizing okay I'm going to stop but we're going to cut the egg whites and we're going to cut them pretty thin you're just going to run the knife a few times until everything is finely chopped so now that your egg whites are all chopped, we are going to add them to the egg salad dressing to give it a little freshness.

I like to add a little green onion or chives. This green onion is a little lighter than chopping an onion and putting it in there, but you can definitely use it like a finely chopped red onion and you don't need much. I'm just going to use about three very small scallions and it will add a little bit of color and freshness to the egg salad. I'm going to add that to the bowl and then some celery stock. Make sure you wash the celery and dry it really well so you don't have a soggy egg salad and I like to divide it in half so it's a little easier to cut and We'll cut it finely all the way through and for smaller pieces just run the knife once more so you don't have giant chunks of celery.

It helps make egg salad when you take a bite out of everything. The flavors are kind of cohesive and you don't have like a big bite of celery and it tastes like a celery sandwich. I don't know if I would like a celery sandwich, but if you like big chunks, you can certainly do that, so we. We're going to add that in as well and now we're just going to mix it and blend it all together and then if you want to add some fresh parsley, it's more for color than flavor, it just makes it pop. a little more interesting, so if you're just going to serve egg salad on a crostini for brunch instead of a sandwich, I like to add a little bit of parsley just to make it look a little bit prettier.

Egg salad sounds a little simple but it's really not, it's very tasty and very easy and it's a great way to mix things up. If you have an impromptu lunch or a quick dinner with friends, you can put it on a crostini or fill it with half egg white like a deviled egg but better and that's it, it's so fresh and so tasty and not at all boring for me, let's try it, it's fresh, light and vibrant with a little salt, it's the perfect egg salad and super easy, we made it. in about five minutes, thanks so much for watching, give me a like and subscribe, and for more easy
