Sammich Saturday: Jalapeno Egg Salad

06/30/12 | Eggs, Sandwiches, Vegetarian

Happy 4th of July weekend!! I hope you all are enjoying the sunshine, some backyard barbecues, and maybe even some fun in the water. Me? I am “enjoying” some much-needed time at home, cleaning, organizing, and just taking care of some household to-do’s. Oh, and tomorrow is girl’s night to see Magic Mike!! I am sort of in love with Channing Tatum, so no way am I missing him giving a strip show!! I’ll be sure to fill you in on the drool-fest on Monday 😉

I’ve had egg salad on my list of things to make for quite some time. I had a couple of recipes pinned, but then my Dad’s friend loaned me a Primal Blueprint cookbook, and I found a recipe for Jalapeno Egg Salad. What the what?? Yeah, that was definitely happening in my kitchen. ASAP. I did have one little set-back, however. Making hard-boiled eggs. Yep, of all the things I have learned to cook and bake, I have had one helluva time mastering the hard-boiled egg. But, I learned from my mistake, with the advice of a few friends, and I finally succeeded! Woot!

And then, I made the egg salad one night, after a bottle and a half of wine, to take to work for lunch the next day. Guess what I did then? I forgot to take a plate and my camera to photograph it. I was really on a roll, eh? So, yeah, not the greatest picture but it is a pretty amazing sammich. Which means you should make it yourself and see how really beautiful it is!! Aside from that, though, it was a tasty sammich….a little creamy, with a hint of spice from the jalapenos. Deeee-lish!

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped chives
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup of mayo or miracle whip
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Place the eggs in a small pot and add cold water, just enough to cover the tops of the eggs.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, and allow to boil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Allow to sit for 10-12 minutes, and then move the eggs to a bowl full of water and ice.
  3. Let the eggs sit in the ice water for 5 minutes and then gently crack and peel the shells.
  4. Chop the eggs into small pieces, and combine in a medium bowl with the chives, jalapenos, mayo, and lemon juice.
  5. Toast your bread and slather a little mustard on each side, if you like. Cut diagonally, and enjoy!!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
