At the risk of telling you something you all know and maybe have known for years, I’m going to say it anyway because I still have to look up how to hard boil an egg every time I want to make one, even though I worked in a restaurant for years. I also know that egg salad is really simple to make but it is seriously one of my favorite sandwiches so I wanted to share my recipe with you (with only a slight twist on the way my Mom and Grandmom make it).

This is a one or two person recipe because I’m the only one who eats egg salad in our house but this makes enough for about a sandwich and a half. Use 4 eggs for 2 sandwiches.

Ingredients:

For the egg salad:
3 eggs
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise (if you want to make a healthier version, swap 1 T mayo for 1 T Greek yogurt- I’ll blame going all mayo on being pregnant!)
salt (I only use a pinch)
pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried dill

For the sandwich:
bread of choice
lettuce (arugula would be delicious on this, I just didn’t have any)
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 avocado (I was so bummed that I didn’t have an avocado when I was making this either)

Directions:

To hard boil the eggs:
Place eggs in a pot covered by about an inch of cold water (meaning there should be enough water in the pot to cover the tops by about an inch) and let boil. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes. Drain and cover with cold water to stop the cooking and to cool eggs.

To make the egg salad:
Peel (I roll the hard boiled egg on a hard surface to crack the shell and then peel it) and dice (or crush with a fork) eggs. In a bowl, combine eggs and mayonnaise. Add dill and salt and pepper to taste. Assemble sandwich (I do lettuce on the bottom) and enjoy!

I hope you all have a great weekend! I feel like my to do list is never ending lately… anyone else?
