The Best Egg Salad image

While we love a jazzed up version of egg salad, we always come back to this one for its simplicity, clean flavors and sheer nostalgia. This is the best version of a classic egg salad. It's bright with herbs and the mayonnaise-to-egg ratio is just right, making it perfectly mound-able on a sandwich or bowl of greens. If you are serving a crowd, the recipe is easily doubled, or you can just keep some extra in the fridge for whenever the craving strikes.

EGG SANDWICHES FOR A CROWD



Egg Sandwiches for a Crowd image

Hungry mouths to feed the morning after Thanksgiving? Put that leftover turkey to good use and make a quick, no-fuss frittata in a baking dish, then slice and place on toast slathered with Dijonnaise.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 40m

Yield Makes 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup shredded cooked turkey
1 cup baby spinach
6 slices cooked bacon, broken into pieces
1 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided
Dijon mustard and mayonnaise, for serving
8 to 16 slices toasted bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in turkey, spinach, half the bacon pieces, and 3/4 cup cheese. Pour into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining half of bacon pieces and 3/4 cup cheese.
  • Bake until set, 18 minutes. Switch oven to broil and cook until browned in places, about 3 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, stir together equal parts mustard and mayonnaise. Slice frittata into 8 rectangles. Serve between or atop slices of toast with Dijonnaise.

Tips:

  • Use hard-boiled eggs that are freshly made or at least less than a week old. Fresh eggs will have a better flavor and texture, and they will be easier to peel.
  • Peel the eggs under cold water. This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking to the shell and will make the peeling process easier.
  • Chop the eggs finely. This will help to ensure that the salad has a consistent texture and that the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
  • Use a mayonnaise that is high in fat. A high-fat mayonnaise will help to create a rich and creamy salad.
  • Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings until the salad reaches your desired flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Egg salad can be served immediately after it is made, or it can be chilled for several hours or even overnight. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Egg salad is a classic dish that is perfect for a crowd. It is easy to make, affordable, and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like your egg salad simple or loaded with add-ins, there is a recipe out there for everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dish to feed a crowd, give egg salad a try.
