Not your typical Egg Salad.

  So I'm sitting here trying to think of a name for this Egg Salad.  I asked Chris "I need a name for this Egg Salad because it's not your typical Egg Salad."  And then we just smiled at each other because I had just come up with it... I whipped this up over the summer.  I was craving some kind of salad sandwich but I didn't want Chicken Salad.... I looked up some recipes of Egg Salad and decided it sounded too boring.  So I thought "What about egg salad with bacon in it?"  We LOVED it.  I don't make it very often, but when I do it's usually gone in a matter of hours even though I have the intention of it lasting 2 days.  The 2nd or 3rd time I made it I doubled it and that was great because Chris could come home and just have that for lunch.  The time in the kitchen pays off in my opinion. Simple. Easy. Yummy.

Not-Your-Typical-Egg-Salad

Makes 4 sandwiches

You will need:
   6 boiled eggs
   1 diced green onion
   1 diced celery stalk
   6 pieces of bacon, cooked, cooled, crumbled.
   2-3 tbs of light mayo
   1-2 tsp of regular or dijon mustard.  (Depends on your palate)
   1/4 tsp paprika
   1/8 tsp dill weed
   1/8 tsp of cayenne, if you like a little kick.
   Salt and pepper to taste
*All of these seasonings will probably need to be tweaked according to your palate.  This is just what we like.

  So here we go.  The most time consuming thing of the whole recipe is the eggs.  If you don't know how to make the perfect boiled egg... (Surprisingly I couldn't figure out how to do this until last summer) Cover 6 eggs in a pot of water.  Bring it to a boil, remove from heat, and let them sit covered for about 12-15 minutes.  Oh and by the way, any of you that see the baking soda in the water trick, to help eggs peel easier, it TOTALLY works.

After your eggs are peeled and diced, and your bacon is cooked and crumbled, your basically going to throw everything in a bowl and grab a fork to start tweaking the taste to your liking. 

While I was waiting on my eggs I started putting things in a bowl.  

** I only had about half of the yokes.  

After you stir it all together you will get something that looks like this. :) 

If you want your egg salad cold then stick it in the freezer for just a few minutes... But honestly it tastes pretty good luke-warmish.  Grab your favorite bread, slap some on there and dig in.  Chris and I are in love with this Organic Rudis Honey Sweet Wheat that we get over here in Germany.  I have definitely seen it in stores in the states so it's worth checking it out.
