My Go-To Creamy Egg Salad!A Quick & Cozy Lunch

There is nothing quite like a classic egg salad sandwich to brighten up a busy weekday! I love how versatile this recipe is, whether you’re serving it on toasted brioche or keeping it simple with crisp lettuce wraps. It’s the perfect blend of savory and tangy, and I can’t wait for you to try it! Here’s my recipe:

Ingredients 🛒:

• 8 large eggs

• ½ cup mayonnaise (kewpie works great!)

• ¼ cup chopped green onion

• 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

• ¼ teaspoon paprika

• salt and pepper to taste

Directions 👩‍🍳:

1️⃣ Boil your eggs for 7 minutes.

2️⃣ Remove from the hot water, place into an ice bath to cool them down.

3️⃣ Peel the eggs, and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

4️⃣ Place eggs into a large bowl, and add in the mayo, green onion, mustard, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir.

5️⃣ Serve as is, or with crackers, salad, or a sandwich. Enjoy!

Chef’s Tips 💡:

• Feeling fancy? Instead of mashing everything into a paste, try dicing the egg whites separately and mashing only the yolks with your dressing. This creates a much more professional, gourmet texture with distinct bites of egg.

• You can also add in fresh herbs like chives or dill to elevate the flavor!
