I have teamed up again with Happy Egg Co to share one of my favorite things to make for a quick meal, Egg salad. Egg salad is full of protein and is creamy and delicious.
Eggs are the highlight of any egg salad that is why I use Happy Eggs! Their happy hens produce certified organic, pasture raised, free ranged eggs and it shows in the taste.
Each of their 31 small family farms have over 8 acres of outdoor access for hen’s to forage freely everyday. This is a big difference from “cage free farms” that don’t give hens access to the outdoors. Happy Egg feels very strongly about caring for their hens and eggs with love.
How to Hard Boil an Egg
Start by preparing the eggs. There are several ways to hard boil an egg. I typically either boil them and then put them in cold water or prepare them in a pressure cooker.
Boil:
- Place eggs in a pot of cold water and place on stove. Bring water to a boil, cover the pot and then remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.
- Gently place eggs in a bowl of ice water and let them sit for 5-10 minutes. Remove and peel off shell.
Pressure Cooker:
I have found this method to be very easy.
- Pour 1 cup water in the pressure cooker. Place eggs on top of rack inside the cooker.
- Pressure cook for 7 minutes and then manually release pressure.
- Carefully remove eggs and place in ice water for 7 minutes. Peel.
How to Make Egg Salad
Now that the eggs are boiled, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, dill, onion, celery seed, salt and pepper.
Chop eggs and stir in with the mayonnaise mixture. Serve on lettuce, toast, bun or croissant.
I purchased my Happy Eggs at my local Publix store. Find your closest store HERE and be sure to look for the yellow carton when you are in store. To learn more about Happy Eggs and their commitment to happy hens, check out their WEBSITE.
