![]() 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? Janet US |

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. |

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? Janet US |

What goes into your egg salad? > Janet US 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. |

What goes into your egg salad? 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. |

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. |

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.

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. Doris I |

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. Doris |

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

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. N. |

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. Cheri |

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. Janet US |

Just bbq'd or with a sauce of some kind? I'll keep that in mind. Janet US |
