How to Make Easy Egg Salad:

Make the dressing by adding mayonnaise, dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, parsley, dill, salt, pepper and sugar in a bowl.
- Stir together until well combined.

How to Make Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add eggs and cook for 12 minutes.

This method for boiling eggs works to make the eggs easy to peel every time, even with farm fresh eggs. It’s the only way I boil eggs these days. I also hear that Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs are easy to peel.
Egg Salad Sandwiches are a lunchtime favorite at our house. We have chickens, so we always have plenty of eggs.
What Goes On Egg Salad Sandwiches:
Egg salad is delicious by itself. For an epic sandwich, we like to add a bit of Miracle Whip or mayo, lettuce, red onion and sweet pickles. It’s great served on slices of Amish White Bread, wheat bread or bakery croissants.
My Favorite Egg Recipes:
- If you have an abundance of eggs, Sausage and Spinach Quiche is a great dish for any meal of the day. It’s really flavorful and gets rave reviews.
- Ham and Egg Breakfast Rolls are a great breakfast or brunch that everyone will love. They are so filling and easy to make with crescent dough.
- Breakfast Strata is a hearty casserole with ham, eggs, bread and cheese that can be made the night before and baked fresh for breakfast. A holiday favorite that is easy to feed a crowd.
Egg Salad is a great option for a quick and easy meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Simple to make ahead and keep on hand for busy schedules.
