Tips

  • Fill the pot with cold water just until the eggs are covered.
  • Let cold water run onto the boiled eggs or let them sit in cold water with ice to cool them down.
  • Start peeling the hard-boiled egg by hitting the bottom until it cracks.
  • Don't add too much mustard, as it can ruin the taste.
  • Add a thin layer of mayonnaise to the bread to prevent dryness.
  • Open-face egg salad on toasted sourdough is also a good option.
  • Use any egg that falls out of the sandwich as a chip dip.
