Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 pieces anchovy fillets
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices whole grain bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and let the eggs cook for 10 minutes.
Immediately transfer the cooked eggs into a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and set them aside.
In a small food processor or blender, combine the anchovy fillets, lemon juice, capers, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth to create the anchovy spread.
In a large mixing bowl, chop the peeled eggs into small, bite-sized pieces.
Add the mayonnaise, anchovy spread, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Gently fold everything together until evenly combined.
Taste the egg salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Serve the egg salad on its own, spooned onto slices of whole grain bread for sandwiches, or with crackers as a dip.
