A creamy, delicious egg salad that's perfect alone or in a sandwich.
Ingredients
Directions
- To cook the eggs, place them in a single layer in a pan with enough cold water to cover them completely.
- Bring the water to a boil, remove from heat, cover tightly with a lid, and allow to remain in the water approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
- Then place under running, cold water to cool quickly. This way of cooking is also known as "coddling." It does not toughen the whites as boiling does.
- Peel eggs; discard 6 egg yolks (you will be using 2 whole eggs and 6 egg whites).
- In a medium-size bowl, chop the eggs up.
- Add celery, onions, mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, salt and pepper to taste; stir until well mixed.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate if not using right away.

Absolutely! As a salad, or on a sandwich, or with low calorie chips, what a good idea!

I was very skeptical because of the sour cream but this is an amazing egg salad, I think next time I am going to mix it all together the morning of or right before I eat it, stayed in the fridge over night, I think it lost a lot of the flavor and creaminess.. other than that it's ahhmazing!

Good. Never thought of cutting some of the calories out using the sour cream instead of the mayo. I added an extra yolk, more onion and olives...put over lettuce. Used as an evening meal and later in a.m. over a thin bagel for breakfast.

Very good. I changed it up some used tuna instead of the 6 egg whites and spicy mustard instead of yellow mustard.
