Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • Egg Salad can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you cannot find sugar-free (keto) mustard do not panic, just use Grey Poupon and call it good. We are only using 1 teaspoon!
  • If you prefer cilantro, use cilantro. Don’t like paprika, leave it off. Make adjustments to fit your own tastes.
  • I always have a dozen hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator to use for egg salad, deviled eggs or just to snack on with sea salt.
  • I also cook a package of bacon in the oven (375 for 20 minutes) and keep it in the refrigerator to snack on or reheat and serve with eggs for a quick breakfast.

How do you hard boil eggs?

Instant Pot – Pour one cup of water into the liner of your pressure cooker. Add the trivet, then stack the eggs on top.

Cook on Manual for 5 minutes, release the pressure after 5 minutes, then remove the eggs and place them in an ice bath for 5 minutes. You can find the step-by-step instructions in this post.

Stove-top – Place eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a saucepan. Add enough water to cover the eggs with at least 2 inches of water.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let sit for 10 to 12 minutes.

Drain the water and run cold water over the eggs to stop them from cooking further.

Store hard boiled eggs in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
