Deviled Egg Salad Recipe

12 large eggs
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain yogurt + 1 tablespoon
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons pickle juice
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon paprika
3 gherkin pickles, minced

I came up with this recipe while making deviled eggs for a cookout. I had just purchased an electric pressure cooker and decided to cook the eggs in the pressure cooker. But, when I went to peel the eggs they all had flat bottoms or the yolks had set to close to the edge. Frustrated and running low on time I diced the egg whites and whipping the yolks to make an egg salad. Guess what? It turned out awesome! In fact I enjoy this salad more than traditional deviled eggs because you can spread it on toast or a crisp cracker.

When preparing any egg salad is important to not over cook the eggs. Otherwise the whites of the eggs get rubbery and the yolks become brittle and discolored. A properly hard boiled egg should have tender whites bright yellow and creamy yolks. Here are a few tips when hard boiling eggs.

Tips for Hard Boiled Eggs

  • Use a saucepan large enough to place them in a single layer. Cover the eggs with cold water by 2 inches. Place on high heat until it starts a rolling boil.
  • Turn off heat and cover saucepan. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12 minutes.
  • Drainand cool completely under cold running water or in bowl of ice water. At this point you can refrigerate and have on hand as a snack or peel to make this awesome deviled egg salad.
  • The water must come to a full boil and the pan is removed from the seat to gently cook the eggs in the hot water. This minimizes cracking and results in tender whites and creamy yolks.
  • How to peel eggs? Fresh eggs are the most difficult to peel because the membranes are still connected to the shell. Purchase your eggs 1 – 2 weeks before cooking. This allows the eggs to take in air which helps separate the membrane from the shell. Also, eggs are easiest to peel right after cooling because they contact slightly in the shell, further helping the membrane separate from the shell.

I warn you this salad is addictive. My favorite way to enjoy it is on buttered bread toasted in a skillet. It’s a great snack or lunch. This is also a great way to use up all the Easter eggs in your future. Are you as big a fan of eggs as we are? Maybe you should try these bacon and egg toast cups that are perfect for brunch or these soy deviled eggs that are dangerously addictive.

    This looks delicious Meseidy! And timely. I was looking for an egg salad recipe for sandwiches a few days ago, but didn’t really find anything that blew my dress up, so to speak, lol! I just got an instant pot 3 qt. & boiled up some eggs. I used the trivet that came with, so the eggs laid on their sides, but that’s all I had. They came out great for deviled eggs. Maybe just beginner’s luck. Anyway, thank you so very much for this recipe, just what I was looking for! Always enjoy your recipes & this one so versatile! I think it will be great deviled or deviled salad, yum!
