THE BEST EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Add the eggs to a saucepan and fill with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let the eggs stand for 10-12 minutes. Take the eggs out of the water and let cool.
• Peel and chop the eggs and add them to a medium sized bowl. Add mayonnaise, dill, chives, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well. Spread on bread or use with your favorite crackers.

GRANDMA DEE'S TUNA EGG SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Make hard-boiled eggs and chill in the fridge. For foolproof hard-boiled eggs (the Rachael Ray and my way), put eggs in a medium-sized pot with a lid. Cover eggs with cold water by 1". Add 1 tsp salt (this seals egg from coming out if shell cracks). Cover, bring to boil, turn off the heat, set a timer for 12-14 minutes. Remove the lid, drain, and run cold water over them until cooled off (I let them sit in the cold water about 10 minutes before peeling). Drain off water, put the lid back on, gently shake eggs in the pot to thoroughly break up shells. Cover with cold water again, let sit for abt 5 minutes to let water seep under shells to make peeling easier. Also peeling eggs underwater helps a lot. The shells will slip right off. This works best with eggs a few days old. This is the coolest way to make good hard-boiled eggs. I have never had that green ring around the yolk since I started cooking them this way.
• 2. Prepare celery and green onions. I like to grate my celery on the biggest grater holes on a box grater. Then pick out the strings (Cayden's preference) and squeeze the excess water out (my preference).
• 3. Drain the tuna well (I squeeze the excess liquid out of that too) and put it into a medium-sized bowl. Chop hard-cooked eggs and add to tuna. Add celery, green onion, red & green peppers and spices.
• 4. Stir in the salad dressing and mayonnaise. Mix well and taste. Adjust seasonings if needed.
• 5. Enjoy!

• 3. slice the egg vertical and mix into the tuna to complete the salad.
• 4. Toast the bread and then butter the toast before putting the salad on and then put the salad on. You got some really good Tuna Egg Salad right from Mama Elnora's recipe box!

MOM'S BLUE RIBBON EGG CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Stir well. Blend in the scalded milk. If you want a brighter color pie add a drop or two of yellow food coloring. Line pie pan with pastry, and brush inside bottom and sides of shell with egg white to help prevent a soggy crust. Pour custard mixture into piecrust. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on rack. Keep refrigerated. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

MOM'S EGG SALAD SANDWICH

• In a large bowl, mix together eggs, celery, mayonnaise, and salt; season with pepper. If salad seems dry, add more mayonnaise to reach desired consistency.
• Divide egg salad evenly between 4 slices of bread; sandwich with remaining slices of bread. Serve with onion, tomato, and pickles.

BLUE RIBBON EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Halve the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Chop the whites (set them aside) and, in a medium mixing bowl, mash up the yolks separately.
• To the finely mashed yolks, add all the ingredients, (except for the chopped whites) saving the mayonnaise for last. Stir as you add each tablespoon of mayonnaise to make sure the mix is not getting too thin. Use only the amount that you need.
• Add the chopped whites to the mix and fold them in carefully.
• Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving on your favorite buns with some leaf lettuce.
• I will note that I prefer using Heinz mustard in this recipe but any brand or regular yellow mustard will do. The "cooking" time refers to refrigeration.
