Default Egg Salad -- What do you put in your egg salad?


I'm kinda bored and am thinking I might try something different in my
egg salad. I've made my honey rye flake bread today and egg salad
sandwiches is on the menu. What goes into your egg salad?

Egg, mayo, S&P. I never get exotic with egg salad, although I have
been known to layer an ES sandwich with a slice or 3 of bacon.

I used a lot of eggs this weekend, both raw in recipes and hardboiled
for other things.

I made brioche and some pecan sticky buns.

Then I made some chicken liver pate (ok - chopped liver) and used duck
fat to saute the onions and livers. Sliced up a bit of brioche and
spread it with the pate. Heavenly.

I've been wanting to do chicken liver pate for some time now. I've
misplaced my favorite recipe so I guess I just go for it.
I just don't do much in the way of sweet yeast things. Probably the
last thing I did years ago was elephant ears.
Worse comes to worse I'll do the plain egg salad. It really needs
some crunch or something, don't you think?

Nothing really fancy there on my end. I do like to add a little minced
onion. Roughly 1/4c minced onion to 6 eggs. Might add a dash or so of
hot hungarian paprika.

I dislike things like celery and other crunchy stuff in there although
I know many like that effect.

Smile, I'll skip the liver but take the rest! Somehow liver ended up
being one thing I can't stand.

Chives, celery salt, dillweed, mustard, white pepper, ranch
dressing... sometimes lox.

Since you ask.... I don't make egg salad. I am not saying I don't like
it, don't eat it or can't eat it. It just never occurs to me to make egg
salad. I think I have made it once, maybe twice. It just doesn't occur
to me. However, if I am at a function where sandwiches are being served
and egg salad is one of the choices, I usually make a point of trying
it, and I usually really enjoy them.

Chopped eggs of course, salt, mayo, and if I do a dozen of eggs they
get an 8 ounce block of softened cream cheese. Half a dozen eggs
get one of those 3 ounce blocks but if I don't have one of the small
blocks on hand then I'll just halve the 8 ounce package. It's import-
ant the cream cheese is s-o-f-t.

I know that my husband will want to eat some of the fresh bread. It's
useless to try something else for dinner. He'll have a nighttime
snack of peanut butter and huckleberry jam as well. Anyway, I gave
him a choice of cold meatloaf sandwiches or egg salad sandwiches and
he chose the egg.

That's the one ingredient that I don't have in the house. I'll keep

It's hard to get people to eat something else if there is fresh bread to
be eaten. A meatloaf sandwich can be a wonderful thing, but I think I
might opt for the egg salad. I did not say I do not like it. It is just
one of those things where it is something that, for some reason, it just
never occurs to me to make.

It's quite tasty in the egg salad, I promise.

If it's for me, I'll add a tiny squirt of regular mustard, a bit of finely minced red onion, and chopped celery for crunch. Hubby hates mustard so I usually make two separate batches. I like a small scoop on a toasted English muffin.

Eggs. Salt. Pepper.
A pinch of dry mustard.
A little very-finely-chopped celery and shallot.
Half mayo, half sour cream.

I'm with Boron. Eggs, mayo, and S&P only. And it has to be real mayo
(I use Hellmans) - no Miracle whip or other "salad dressing."

If you use something like Miracle Whip, the egg salad will separate
because you are basically adding water. I find also that diced celery
or onion will "weep" and add water.

Same thing with tuna and salmon salad.

Every time I make boiled eggs for breakfast I always boil an extra 3
or 4 to use in egg salad.

It's one of our favourite sandwich fillings. We eat it at least once a
week.

Mayo, mustard, dill pickle relish, finely chopped celery and onion, salt and
pepper...plus a very few red pepper flakes as a rule.

I don't find that to be true with the chopped celery and onion, but I don't
keep it long, usually make what I'm using for the day.

Egg, mayo (Hellman's), minced onion, celery and (if available) radish,
salt and pepper. Maybe a tiny sprinkle of cayenne.

I used to put alfalfa sprouts on egg salad sandwiches, but I rarely
have them on hand anymore.

I put the crunch on the sandwich, bacon, as I mentioned, or a piece of
Romaine, or thinly sliced cuke.

Sweet yeasted things- yeah, well, there was that 2lb brick of fresh
yeast that screamed "use me" ever time I opened the fridge. My problem
was that I used Julia Child's recipe. It isn't bad - it's good, in
fact, but I have made my own versions of challahs, brioche, sticky
buns for ages and my taste-memories really wanted that, not Julia's.

And following a complicated recipe over 2 days was not fun. Some of
it, I thought, unnecessary, but that is from the vantage of a person
who bakes a lot. I felt constrained, I guess, but that was my ego.

Oh, the liver - saute onions, saute livers, add a hard boiled egg or
two, and run the food processor until you get the texture you like.
Salt is the only seasoning I use.

Keep in mind my target in taste and texture is old-fashioned, Jewish
style chopped liver. There are a lot fancier options out there that
might be more appealing to you. To me, it is comfort food.

Oh sick!!!
Just kidding but not really. I just hate olives.

My egg salad is often plain...egg and mayo + S&P on soft white
bread.
Sometimes I'll add in a tiny bit of "horseradish mustard" but not
much. If I want some crunch and have it handy, I'll add a leaf or
two of iceberg lettuce.

Default Egg Salad -- What do you put in your egg salad?

Just mayo, salt &a pepper for me. But I put a couple big dill pickle
"sandwich slicesslices in it. Or instead, sometimes just crisp iceberg
lettuce. For me, anything else just messes it up. OTOH, if onions
didn't affect my tummy so negatively, a nice crisp white onion slice
would be added sometimes for variety.

I have a new loaf of rye bread, so this reminds me of one of my
favorite lunches...egg salad on rye.

Hmmm. I really love rye bread but have never used it for egg
salad. Lightly toasted or just plain and fresh? I'll try this in
a day or two.

there was something else in my fav recipe. I just can't remember what
it was. I hadn't made it in years and years because I was working.
I'll keep looking. It was some other little flavor component.

time. thx

I do like tuna salad, but not really salmon salad. I don't believe I've ever
had shrimp salad that was akin to egg salad, I usually put shrimp in a green
salad, but I bet it would be good.

Radish -- there's a thought. I used to put sprouts on sandwiches a
lot but then there was that scare years ago about them and I got out
of the practice. Then I grew them for awhile. I do have some bean
sprouts seeds in the house that I need to use up. Thanks for the
reminder on the sprouts. I really love sprouts on a sandwich.

I would have never thought of bbq meat as a pairing with rye bread.
Just bbq'd or with a sauce of some kind?
I'll keep that in mind.

I think radishes and sprouts sound good.
