How to Make Egg Salad recipe
Description
Eggs are carefully boiled starting in cold water with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vegetable oil, which helps the shells peel off cleanly. After boiling, the eggs rest covered off heat for 10-12 minutes, then are cooled in cold water to stop cooking. Peeling the eggs reveals firm whites and cooked yolks, which are chopped with a fork and mixed with mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. This creates a creamy, mildly seasoned salad with a classic texture.
The egg salad can be served immediately warm or refrigerated to serve chilled. It's a basic preparation suitable for sandwiches, crackers, or as a protein-rich side. The straightforward method yields a reliable result without additional ingredients.
Ingredients
- 6 egg room temperature
- water
- salt pinch
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Carefully place eggs in a pot of cold water and cover completely by 1 inch or so. Add a pinch of salt and a tsp. of vegetable oil (this will make them easier to peel).
- Bring water to a boil on medium heat. Once it has reached a boil, cover it and remove it from the heat. Let sit off of the heat for 10-12 minutes.
- Dump hot water from the pot, fill it with cold water, and let cool for an additional few minutes.
- Shell your eggs and place them in a bowl. Chop up with a fork and mix in mayo. Add salt and pepper. Serve warm, or place in the fridge to serve cold.
