Tips:

  • Choose the right eggs: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, large eggs.
  • Hard-boil the eggs perfectly: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Chop the eggs finely: For a smooth and creamy texture, chop the eggs very finely. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise: For the best flavor, use a high-quality mayonnaise made with real eggs and oil. Avoid using low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise, as it will make the salad dry and bland.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: Feel free to add your favorite seasonings to the egg salad, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: For a pop of color and flavor, garnish the egg salad with fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or dill.
