I love finding a new way of making something, especially when it’s something so obvious and you wonder why you never thought of it yourself.
I saw this over at It’s All Gouda. Paula used scrambled eggs, as opposed to hard-boiled eggs, to make egg salad for a sandwich. Brilliant! I love egg salad but by the time I remember to boil the eggs, well, it just never happens.
This method makes egg salad available all the time, without forethought. Perfect.
My husband loved it, especially because I served it with Cool Ranch Doritos. Does anyone else have trouble functioning when there is an open bag of Cool Ranch Doritos in the house? I swear that bag calls to me from the cupboard until it’s gone. Maybe it’s just me. I can live with that.
I scrambled seven, large eggs (whatever was left in the carton) in a nonstick pan. I then turned them out on a cutting board and gave them a good chop.
I added the chopped eggs to a bowl along with 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 Tablespoon mustard, 1/4 cup chopped green onion, 4 diced sweet pickles and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until you have your desired consistency.
I served it on a hoagie roll with romaine lettuce and thick sliced tomato.
You can make any version of egg salad you want, just use scrambled eggs, it’s so much easier.
