Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Southern Egg Salad.
Step 1
Start by placing your eggs in a saucepan and covering them with enough water to submerge them completely.
Step 2
Gently bring the water to a boil, then let the eggs cook for about five minutes.
Step 3
Once the time is up, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it with a lid.
Step 4
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for another five minutes to finish cooking perfectly.
Step 5
After that, transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water and let them chill for five minutes.
Step 6
This step not only cools them down but also makes peeling a breeze.
Step 7
Once they’re cool, peel the eggs and place the shells aside.
Step 8
Now, grab a medium mixing bowl and grate the peeled eggs into it for a delightful texture.
Step 9
Next, add in the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, sugar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce if you like a little kick.
Step 10
Stir everything together until it’s well combined and creamy.
Step 11
To let the flavors meld beautifully, cover the bowl and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

This egg salad is perfect for sandwiches, on crackers, or simply enjoyed on its own.
