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
Eggs x 6
Mayonnaise x 2.5 tbsp
Pink salt x â…› tsp
Pepper x a few shakes
Optional:
Sugar (to taste)
Parsley flakes
Mild-tasting vinegar
Bread
Sliced tomato
Sliced cucumber
HOW TO COOK
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.
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.
Transfer the sliced eggs into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, pink salt and pepper. Mix well.
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.
Optional: Sprinkle parsley flakes on the eggs for a little more flavour.
Also optional: Assemble an egg mayo sandwich with these additional ingredients:
Bread
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced cucumbers
