Our Best Ideas for Egg Salad

If you know how to hard-boil eggs (and peel them with ease) then you’re well on your way to some truly delicious dishes. (We're looking at you, deviled eggs!). One of the best egg recipes though (in our humble opinion) is egg salad. It’s a breeze to make once you've got hard-boiled eggs on hand—and it's always flavorful and indulgent. And, while we love a jazzed up version of egg salad (and have included some recipes like that here), we always come back to this one for its simplicity, clean flavors and sheer nostalgia. This is the best version of a classic egg salad. It's bright with herbs and the mayonnaise-to-egg ratio is just right, making it perfectly mound-able on a sandwich or bowl of greens. If you are serving a crowd, the recipe is easily doubled, or you can just keep some extra in the fridge for whenever the craving strikes.

Bacon and Egg Salad

The easiest way to upgrade classic egg salad? Chock it full of salty, smoky bacon and serve it tucked into a buttery croissant!

Garden Egg Salad

Scallions, celery, radishes and sprouts give this simple egg salad a decidedly springtime flavor. Wrap in romaine lettuce leaves for a light and refreshing meal.

Open-Faced Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches

Bobby’s brunch-worthy tea sandwiches are a breeze to make (they come together in just minutes as long as you’ve made your hard-boiled eggs in advance) but are super impressive thanks to the addition of jumbo lump crab meat and fronds of fresh dill.
