Deli Style Smashed Egg Salad

7. 10. 2025

This pale yellow, creamy deli-style egg salad is made with smashed hard-boiled eggs, two types of mustard, and a few simple seasonings — less than 10 ingredients total!

The sandwich is easy to make, and everybody will love its taste with white bread.

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon brown mustard
• ¾ teaspoon whole-grain mustard
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon white pepper
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

Method:

1. Bring an inch of water to a rolling boil in a small saucepan. 
2. Gently lower an egg in the water, cover the pot, and adjust the burner to keep that rolling boil going. Cook the egg for 11 minutes.
3. Drain the water and fill the pot with cool tap water.
4. Crack the eggs gently on all sides, rolling them against a paper towel on the counter, then peel them under cool running water.
5. Mash the hard-boiled eggs with the cocktail muddler until the yolks are pretty broken up, but some large chunks of egg white are still left. 
6. Add the mayonnaise, both mustards, salt, pepper and paprika. Mash again until well combined. Stir in the chopped chives.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving for the best taste. It is best after 12 hours.
