Tips:
- To make the perfect hard-boiled eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- For a creamier egg salad, mash the yolks and whites together with a fork until they are smooth. If you prefer a chunkier egg salad, chop the eggs into small pieces.
- Add your favorite mix-ins to the egg salad to create a unique flavor. Some popular options include celery, onion, red pepper, pickles, bacon, and avocado.
- If you don't have any squash boats, you can use other vegetables as a serving vessel. Try bell peppers, tomatoes, or even lettuce leaves.
- Egg salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great option for a picnic or potluck.
Conclusion:
Egg salad in squash boats is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
