Step 1:

Perfect Eggs

To get the best hard boiled eggs, simmer 5 eggs in boiling water for no more than 9 1/2 minutes and then place them into cold water. In a large mixing bowl, peel and break the eggs apart into chunks, do not chop.

Step 2:

Add Flavor

Add 1 Tbsp diced green onions, 1 Tbsp chopped parsley, 1 Tbsp diced shallot and 2 slices of cooked bacon, chopped to the eggs.

Step 3:

Add Aioli

While you can use plain mayonnaise in egg salad, try using 1/4 cup (60 ml) garlic aioli sauce instead. The tart and tangy taste will enhance the flavor of the eggs and make the whole dish more enjoyable. Gently fold the contents in the bowl over and over making sure not to mash it all together.

Garlic Aioli

Garlic aioli is made by mixing 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 beaten egg, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/3 tsp pepper. Then slowly mix in 1/2 cup (125 ml) of olive oil until creamy.

Step 4:

Add Garnish

Chop some green onion and sprinkle over the egg salad to add additional flavor and color. Refrigerate and enjoy!
