Instructions

Start by hard boiling your eggs if you haven’t already done so. I do this by boiling a pot of water. Carefully lower the eggs into the pot and boil for 7 minutes. Remove from the water and place directly into an ice bath. Let rest until fully cooled and then peel.

In a medium bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the eggs into a rough chop. Mix in the curry powder, dijon, mayo, chives, and celery. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve on toasted bread, or even on it’s own, and ENJOY!

Notes

Leftover egg salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. To keep it super fresh, press a sheet of plastic wrap against the surface of the salad. Just before serving, give it a good stir.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Ice Bath for Perfect Eggs 🥶
Immediately transfer boiled eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and prevent that gray-green ring around the yolk, ensuring creamy, bright yellow centers.
Curry Powder Blooming Technique 🌟
Mix curry powder with a small amount of mayo before adding to the salad to bloom the spices and intensify their flavor rather than scattering dry powder throughout.
Dice Everything Uniformly 🔪
Cut celery and eggs into consistent 1/4-inch pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the salad and provide balanced texture in every bite.
Make It Ahead Without Sogginess 🥗
Prepare the egg salad up to 24 hours ahead but add chopped celery just before serving to keep it crisp and avoid wateriness from the mayo.
Taste and Adjust Seasonally ⚖️
Always taste before serving and adjust curry powder, mustard, or salt incrementally—curry's intensity varies by brand and personal preference differs greatly.
