I was inspired to make some egg salad last week with some of our leftover Easter eggs. My MIL makes the best egg salad sandwich I've ever had & my recipe is an attempt at making something close to hers {I don't have her recipe}.
I have made many sandwiches over the past few years...for catering jobs, showers, etc. This sandwich is always a big hit. My kids also love egg salad & I try to make it often, for their lunch boxes. I use sweet curry powder in this, because it has no heat & is suitable for kids palates. But, any curry powder can be substituted.

Begin by hard boiling 6 large eggs. Peel them & separate the yolks from the whites. Add the yolks to a mixing bowl & mash them up with a fork.

In a separate, small mixing bowl, combine a 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, a small pinch of kosher salt {mustard is salty, so don't overdo it!}, a 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper & an 1/8 teaspoon of sweet curry powder. Whisk the dressing to combine.

Looks soo good.. I have some eggs left from easter also... I might just have to make this. Thanks for the idea!!
That looks wonderful! I also made egg salad this week and it was so good. I like to add diced caramelized onions and smoked paprika to mine. I love how you separated and diced yours so cleanly! I usually just throw everything in a bowl and mash with a big fork. I think I like your method better though... lol!
This looks delicious, I don't like curry, but I wonder if I would like it. Have to try and see.
