The CREAMIEST Egg Salad Ever!

[illinitailgater]

This recipe is really satisfying, and the technique I use really makes the yolks creamy, which is good, because I hate yolks!

Ingredients:

3 large eggs
2-3 T softened butter
2-3 T (or more) mayo, to taste (or if you're trying to increase fats!)
dash garlic salt
few twists of freshly ground black pepper
2 small celery ribs (or one large), diced small

Method:

Hard-boil eggs. While eggs are boiling, put butter in bottom of small bowl. When eggs are finished, peel while still hot and separate yolks from white, placing yolks into bowl with butter. Mash vigorously with fork, incorporating butter, until very creamy and there are few to no lumps. Add mayo and whip with fork until incorporated. Add garlic salt, pepper, and celery, mix. Add diced whites, and mix again.

I will sometimes add a bit of fresh garlic, or onion, and I put it in with the yolks to mash. The heat of the yolks seems to cook the garlic or onion a bit, and really releases the flavors.

You HATE yolks! urplequ: Wow, IMO that's the only good part of an egg, you can have my whites if you give me your yolks! :yes

I like scrambled & omelettes, but HATE fried, or over-easy, or poached, or any of those other methods of cooking eggs where the yolk is separate to the white. My husband and daughter are the same way, but my son loves eggs all ways. We all think he's a freak when he bites into a hard-boiled egg, and he thinks we're freaks when we run gagging.

When he goes to college I'll send you all our yolks.

Too funny, cause w/ fried or boiled or deviled eggs, I only eat the yolks and give the whites to the dog! We are complete opposites!

LOL..me too, I think the best part of the egg is the yolk.

I have eggs that are coming out of my ears with all the hens laying right now.

I made a splenda based pickled egg jar last week. Looks good and tastes good.

But I do like the sound of this recipe. Besides I love softboiled eggs mashed with real butter sprinkle with salt and pepper.

I'll be trying this.

Thanks
