Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Egg Salad.
Step 1
Start by placing your eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water.
Step 2
Turn on the heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Step 3
As soon as it starts bubbling, take the saucepan off the heat and cover it with a lid.
Step 4
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 15 minutes—this is the perfect time to relax and maybe even enjoy a cup of coffee.
Step 5
After the timer goes off, carefully drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs to cool them down quickly.
Step 6
Once they’re cool enough to handle, gently roll each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel them with care.
Step 7
Next, grab your food processor and toss in the peeled eggs.
Step 8
Pulse them a few times until they’re chopped to your liking—if you prefer a chunkier texture, feel free to chop them by hand instead.
Step 9
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs with fat-free mayonnaise, light sour cream, a dash of Chinese hot mustard, chopped celery, olives, and sweet pickle relish.
Step 10
Give everything a good mix to ensure all those delicious flavors meld together.
Step 11
Now it’s time to season your egg mixture! Sprinkle in some paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 12
Stir everything well and take a moment to adjust the seasoning to suit your palate.
Step 13
This is your creation, so make it just how you like it! Enjoy your delightful egg salad as a sandwich filling, a dip, or simply on its own.
Step 14
Happy cooking!.
