If you love fresh dill and lemon, you will love this egg salad toast recipe. It is creamy from softish boiled eggs and mayonnaise, a little tart from the lemon, and so fresh tasting because of the dill!
I love this for breakfast on a piece of a grainy bread that has been toasted and buttered! Add a lemon squeeze and more dill on top and it’s perfect.
the most delicious egg salad on toast.
I start my eggs already in the water. Many say to bring the water to a boil, then add the eggs. If you choose that way, you’ll need to cook them for maybe 8 1/2 minutes. I tend to like starting mine in the water because I’m less likely to break them! Lol! Here’s a tutorial from the Food Lab/Serious Eats: https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/05/the-secrets-to-peeling-hard-boiled-eggs.html
I also love to boil my eggs in the Instant Pot because they peel so easily. Place your eggs in the liner with one cup water. Set your pressure cooker for 10 minutes for hard boil then quick release and remove from the pan. If you want to do a natural release, set for 5 minutes, wait 5 minutes then release if it hasn’t already. I set these for 8 minutes and did a quick release because I wanted them a little softer for my egg salad. After removing the eggs from the pan, tap each each egg on the ends on your kitchen counter, then roll to release the shell. The shell should remove easily. If not peel them under running cold water. Chop the eggs in the consistency you desire. I like it a little chunky.
Add your other ingredients and serve immediately on the bread of your choice. I love it on toasted bread for breakfast and top with a little more dill.
