Thanks to the comments from others, I used a smaller amount of Gorgonzola and it was delicious! I never knew egg salad could be so interesting, thanks Giada!

I did some tweaking but was awesome. Used shallots because I didn't have chives. Also used a combination of feta, parmesan, and pecorino cheeses. I think next time I'll leave out extra salt since the pancetta was salty enough on its own. Thanks Giada for making me feel like a great cook!!!

I've always been wary of egg salad and would only eat it as a last resort, but had to admit it was sort of tasty when I did. I tried this recipe and it was delicious. Left out pancetta - I don't eat meat - and I used alot less gorgonzola, maybe 1/4. I think gorgonzola can vary widely - the one I got was very strong with lots of mold, so I used less and it was still pretty strong. I've tasted much more mellow gorgonzola - I recommend keeping this is mind when shopping and making this. The lemon taste is wonderful. I've been making this at least twice a week now!

Lol I actually had to look up "how to hard boil an egg" because I never make them. This works really well: cover eggs with water and bring to boil. Once boiling, set timer for 3 minutes and let them boil. After 3 minutes, remove pot from heat, cover, and set timer for 11 minutes. Then, run cold water over the eggs for at least a minute, and let sit in cold water or refrigerate for a little while. They come out perfectly.

I do not like egg salad. So when Mom came over for lunch and brought this recipe, I wasn't too enthusiastic. Boy, was I wrong! The eggs provide an almost nuetral medium for the other stars of this dish....the cheese is warm and rich as the bottom flavor, and the fresh lemon and chive dance lightly on top. And of course, what dish isn't better w/ a little panchetta on top?!? I too would back off on the cheese a little, but all said, I now like egg salad....

I am a fan of Giada's food, but I always look at the reviews to see what could be tweaked.
This sandwich is great. I made it last night for my husband and myself for a picnic at the beach. I used 6 eggs and half the cheese. Keep everything else the same.

Cut the cheese! Way too much cheese for my taste. I'd put half in next time. The lemon zest was great, it gave the egg salad a fresh flavor that I loved. The pancetta was great too.

I'm sorry...I thought this was terrible. I LOVE her other recipes I've tried, though! The only thing I can say really, is that maybe it's just my palette b/c this was the first time that I've tried gorgonzola...NOT a fan...so if u like that cheese, you'd probably love this dish...but the complimentary dish for this episode (raspberry mozzarella panini has become a staple sandwich in my household!

Only three eggs for four to six people? Anyone find this to be enough? Thanks.

I think the flavor combo was a great idea however there was way too much gorgonzola in the recipe. It was disgusting.
