Egg Mayo

Egg mayo is great in a salad, in a sandwich, or even on its own!

It's one of my favourite things to make for lunch because it's so easy and tasty.


INGREDIENTS

Prep time: 10min (if making a sandwich)
Cooking time: 20min
Serves: 3-4

  1. Eggs x 6

  2. Mayonnaise x 2.5 tbsp

  3. Pink salt x â…› tsp

  4. Pepper x a few shakes

  5. Optional:

    • Sugar (to taste)

    • Parsley flakes

    • Mild-tasting vinegar

    • Bread

    • Sliced tomato

    • Sliced cucumber

HOW TO COOK

  1. Boil eggs for 10 minutes.

      • I put salt and a tablespoon of mild-tasting vinegar in the water to make the eggs easier to peel. I use grain or rice vinegar because that's what I usually have in my kitchen, but apple cider vinegar works fine too.

      • Use old eggs that have been in your fridge for a week or more of you want them even easier to peel.

      • Fresh eggs are the hardest to peel. They really stick to the shell for dear life.

      • It doesn't really matter if you overboil them or you peel them badly.

  2. Peel eggs. Use an egg slicer to cut them horizontally and then vertically.

      • In case you don't know what an egg slicer is, here's an example.

      • Horizontally first, because I find that when I slice them vertically, it's hard to turn them around to slice horizontally after that - they just fall apart.

  3. Transfer the sliced eggs into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, pink salt and pepper. Mix well.

  4. Taste the eggs. Sometimes I find that they need a little sugar. Other times, the egg somehow is sweet is enough and doesn't need the sugar.

  5. Optional: Sprinkle parsley flakes on the eggs for a little more flavour.

  6. Also optional: Assemble an egg mayo sandwich with these additional ingredients:

      • Bread

      • Sliced tomatoes

      • Sliced cucumbers
