A simple and tangy egg salad sandwich. A family favorite.
Next to a tuna melt, egg salad is my favorite sandwich. I especially love this egg salad mixture. I’ve been making it for years and never get tired of it. It’s very simple but packed with flavor. The mix of Miracle Whip ( I prefer that over mayonnaise) with the Dijon mustard is delicious.
Last weekend my husband and I decided we wanted to go on a picnic. It was going to be a beautiful day. I originally thought I would make tuna sandwiches, but then remembered these egg salad sandwiches and realized I hadn’t made them in a long time.
They were quick to put together and packed easily into our cooler. We also took some potato salad and sodas. It was a great day.
How to Hard-Boil Eggs –
- Fill a saucepan two thirds full with cold water.
- Add desired amount of eggs to the pan plus 1 tablespoon of salt.
- Bring to a rolling boil.
- Cover the pan, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in hot water for 15 minutes.
- After the 15 minutes drain the water off the eggs and run them under cold water.
- Peel your eggs. I like to peel them in cold water. Seems to help the shell peel off the egg easily.
This process works for me every time. I never get a green yolk using this method. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
Enjoy!
