Life wouldn’t be the same without …
Classic Egg Salad!
Eggs are satisfying.
They are full of protein to keep you going through the day, and a comfort food. Egg Salad sandwiches have been traded repeatedly throughout school history for the other kids PBJ, and it is the glorious filling in deviled eggs.
There are so many variations of Egg Salad from curried, seafood to even Eggless Egg Salad (what ?!?), but for me I always end up going back to the classic recipe and I am content.
You might find me eating the creamy Egg Salad on crackers or as part of one of my favorite Sandwiches, a Smoked Peppered Alaskan Salmon, Egg Salad and Roasted Red Peppers stacked on an everything or Asiago Cheese Bagel!
OH MAN! It’s so good.
This recipe is a great one to add to your child’s repertoire of yummy things to make, my kids love to help and gives them a great boost of “I can do it”. I just have to make sure that they don’t pulverize it by over mashing the eggs. Yes, it’s been done and we ended up having more of thick soup thing going on.
I love to enhance mine with SPICY extras. You can pimp it up with some hot sauce or diced chilies to liven it up a bit. I have my trusty bottle of Sriracha handy at all times and love it with this recipe. I found that if I really don’t want share my portion of yummy food, then all I have to do is douse my food in Sriracha – works every time. 🙂
Are you an Egg Salad kind of person? If so, you should give this a go and enjoy.
