Introduction

Farmhouse Egg Salad offers a heartwarming twist on the classic favorite, combining creamy, tangy, and crunchy elements in every bite. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or a satisfying snack that brings comfort and flavor together.

The image shows a sandwich on a white plate with a white marbled surface underneath. It has two layers: the bottom layer is a golden-brown toasted round bun with a slightly crispy texture, and the top layer is the same bun tilted back to reveal the filling. The filling is a creamy, chunky egg salad made with bright yellow scrambled eggs mixed with white pieces of hard-boiled eggs, small bits of red pepper, and green herbs, giving it a fresh look. The sandwich is thick and full, with the filling slightly spilling out from the sides. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

12 large boiled eggs
⅓ cup finely diced celery
⅓ cup chopped green onion
⅓ cup sweet pickle relish
4 ounces diced pimentos, drained
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the eggs for 10–12 minutes to achieve perfect hard-boiled eggs.
Step 2: Transfer the eggs to an ice bath immediately to cool them down and stop the cooking process.
Step 3: Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs and coarsely chop them to create a pleasant texture.
Step 4: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs, diced celery, chopped green onion, sweet pickle relish, and drained diced pimentos.
Step 5: Add the mayonnaise, additional tablespoon of mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Season with black pepper and salt. Gently mix everything together until well combined.
Step 6: Serve your Farmhouse Egg Salad on a buttery croissant, with crispy crackers, or over a bed of fresh lettuce for a delicious meal.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the salad.
Use Greek yogurt instead of some mayonnaise for a lighter version with a subtle tang.
Try adding chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley to elevate the freshness.
Replace pimentos with finely chopped roasted red peppers for a smoky sweetness.

Storage

Store the egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving if it has settled. It’s best enjoyed cold and does not reheat well.

FAQs

Can I make this egg salad ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the egg salad up to a day in advance. Keep it refrigerated and give it a gentle stir before serving for the best texture and flavor.

How do I make perfect hard-boiled eggs?

Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10–12 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to cool and stop cooking, which makes peeling easier and prevents overcooking.
