Lunch · Vegetarian · 30 minutes
Everyone says they have the best egg salad recipe — the secret here is a lot of caramelized onions mixed right in. They melt into the eggs and make a simple egg salad feel like something much more special.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (divided: ¼ fresh, ¾ for caramelizing)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2–3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper
For Serving
- Toasted sourdough
- Fresh sprouts or herbs
- Extra caramelized onions
Method
- Cook eggs in a pot for about 9 minutes after it boils, then transfer to cold water and peel.
- In a pan over low heat, add olive oil and ¾ of the diced onion. Cook slowly 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized.
- Grate the eggs or mash with a fork into a bowl.
- Add the fresh onion, mayonnaise, Dijon, salt, pepper, and most of the caramelized onions. Mix gently.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve on toasted sourdough with extra caramelized onions and fresh sprouts on top.
