Jenns Egg Salad Food

THE BEST EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Cover the eggs with at least 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, celery, onions, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Peel and roughly chop the eggs, add to the mayonnaise mixture and toss gently to combine. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

CLASSIC EGG SALAD WITH RELISH

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs. Add to a large bowl with the mayonnaise, chives, relish and Dijon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the egg salad among 4 slices of bread. Top each sandwich with the additional bread slices. Cut and discard the crusts, if desired.

JENN'S EGG FLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Pour chicken broth into a large saucepan. Stir in salt, ginger, chives and water chestnuts.
• Bring to boil.
• Add frozen peas and carrots.
• Cook until the peas and carrots are no longer frozen.
• Reduce heat to medium.
• In a small bowl, stir together cornstarch and water until smooth.
• Whisk the 3 eggs well. Drizzle egg through a fork into the broth mixture.
• If your heat is not at least at medium you will make scrambled eggs and if you do not pour through a fork it will be clumpy.
• Once the eggs have been added, stir in the cornstarch mixture gradually unitl the soup is your desired consisitency.
• I like my soup only somewhat thickened. "Dropping" the egg is easier if you have two people. One to stir the soup while the other person pours the egg through the fork into the soup.

Steps:

• Cut each slice in half diagonally and serve. If desired, cut into bite-size pieces.
