Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs hard boiled and diced
  • ⅓ to ½ cup mayonnaise or to taste
  • 1 tbsp dill relish
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • ½ tsp salt or to taste
  • ¼ white or black pepper
  • a few dashes of hot sauce optional

Instructions

Boil Eggs

  • Use Instant Pot Hard Boil Egg Method or place eggs in a pot and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once water is boiling, cover with a lid. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove eggs with tongs and cool eggs in an ice bath and peel.

Making Egg Salad

  • With a knife dice eggs into bite sized pieces.
  • In a bowl add in diced eggs and half of mayonnaise, dill relish, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Stir until combined. Add in additional mayonnaise until you have your desired consistency.
  • Serve on a bed of lettuce, on bread as a sandwich or with crackers.

Notes

Great Delicious Mix-ins: a few dashes of hot sauce, sub sweet relish, olives, sub dijon mustard, or celery.
