My grandmother loved egg salad. She could eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whenever I’d stop by to visit her, she’d always have hard-boiled eggs in a little glass dish in the fridge at the ready. As with so much in life, I never appreciated this traditional New England favorite until I was much older. Luckily for me I watched her make it so many times I had a picture of the recipe in my head.

Ingredients:

• 4 hard-boiled eggs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Instructions:

• Chop eggs.
• In a medium bowl mix eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, s/p, lemon, and chives until combined.
• Serve immediately.

My grandmother always ate her egg salad with a side of pickles and tomatoes. But this creamy creation is perfect on a croissant for breakfast or as a side dish to a hearty lunch. Enjoy!
