The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
-Julia Child
Upon getting back from the mountains, I was at a loss of what to take for lunch this week. Should I go to the grocery store and buy more food, or do I throw something together with the few random food items in the kitchen? Luckily, I had eggs... always have eggs in your fridge.
Egg Salad
8 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 T. Dijon mustard
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 1/2 T. fresh taragon, finely chopped
1/4 t. kosher salt
1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water is at a rolling boil, put the lid on the pot and turn the flame off. Let the eggs sit in the pot with the water for 15 minutes. Drain the eggs from the hot water and plunge them into a large bowl of ice water for a minute or so. Take them out as soon as they're cool. Peel the eggs and finely chop.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, onion, tarragon, salt and pepper. Add the eggs and mix together. Serve with bread.
