A Chef’s Secret for the Best Egg Salad: Tips for Creamy Perfection

Chef’s Trick: Grate the eggs using a box grater or chop with a fork for an airy, delicate texture.

Avoid mashing too much—it turns the salad gummy.

🍞 5. Let It Rest, Then Serve Smart
Chill egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Serve on:

Toasted sourdough

Buttery croissants

Crisp lettuce cups

Or stuffed into tomatoes or avocados for a fresh twist

💡 Bonus Tips:
Add a pinch of sugar or honey if it tastes too sharp.

Mix in a chopped soft-boiled egg for extra richness and contrast.

For texture, top with crispy bacon bits, pickled onions, or capers right before serving.
