Egg salad with a little kick! Adjust the chile powder to your liking - start with less if you're not an affirmed chilehead & then increase as desired. Let egg salad rest 30 to 45 minutes after making final pepper addition to let flavors meld.

Tips:

Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will have a better flavor and texture than older eggs.
Hard-boil the eggs properly: To ensure that the eggs are cooked through but not overcooked, place them in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit 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.
Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe can be adjusted to your liking. Some other spices that you could use include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, or dried mustard.
Add some crunch: For a bit of extra texture, you can add some chopped celery, red onion, or pickles to the egg salad.
Serve immediately or chill: Egg salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you are chilling the egg salad, be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.

This spiced egg salad is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a light lunch or snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. With its creamy texture and flavorful spices, this egg salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
