This egg salad recipe is not your traditional recipe. If you’ve spent anytime on my blog, you already know I reimagine recipes that are traditionally high in calories and fat and make them healthier for you. It’s no different with this quick and easy creamy egg salad on toast. While traditional egg salad is made with celery and mayo, I lighten things up a bit by using some plain greek yogurt and a secret ingredient.
HOW TO BOIL & PEEL EGGS
First in order to make this egg salad on toast you have to start with the main ingredient which is hard-boiled eggs. Some people have challenges with boiling eggs properly (they are either too runny or overcooked in the yolk) and some have challenges peeling eggs properly. Hopefully the tips I provide below allows you to have perfect hard boiled eggs every time.
Boil Eggs – To boil eggs, place eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and then cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat. Allow to cook for an additional 9-12 minutes depending on your level of doneness. For this recipe you will want the yolk of the eggs to be firm and not runny.
Ice Bath – Once the eggs have cooked, remove from the warm water and place in a large bowl and cover the eggs in an ice bath for about 15 minutes. After eggs have soaked in the ice bath, remove, place on paper towels and peel the shells.
Following this two-step method will make for super easy to peel eggs.
