Egg Salad Recipe for One

 If you want a quick and easy protein packed lunch, this egg salad recipe for one is the perfect quick and easy option you can prep ahead of time!

Egg salad has always been one of my very favorite lunches, and it's a favorite of Derek's too. There was a point in time where we made egg salad almost exclusively every Sunday when we got home from church. We don't make it nearly as often anymore, but it feels super nostalgic whenever we do. If you need a small, single serving, egg salad recipe for one, this recipe is for you!

Egg Salad Recipe for One:

This egg salad comes together with two hard boiled eggs, some red onion, mayonnaise, black pepper, salt, paprika, and green onion. It's super flavorful, and while you certainly can mix just mayo and hard boiled eggs together, the extra add ins bring it to the next level!

How to Make Hard Boil Eggs:

I know everyone has their own method for boiling eggs, but this has worked well for me every time for ten years. 

1. Place your eggs in a pot and fill it with hot water until the eggs are covered. 
2. Place the covered pot on the stovetop with the burner turned to high heat. 
3. Bring the water to a boil and let boil for one minute. 
4. Leave the covered pot on the hot burner for 10 minutes. 
5. When the ten minutes are up, transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool for a minute or two before peeling. 

Egg Salad Recipe for One Notes:

• If you don't like onion leave it out. 
• You can toast your bread or not, depending on your preferences. 
• You could add some small diced celery which would also be amazing. 
• I put lettuce and tomato on my sandwich but again, totally optional. 
• You can prep several eggs ahead of time and keep them in the fridge to use throughout the week.
