EGG SALAD



dozen hard boiled eggs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon baking soda

Mix all ingredients together and use a potato masher until the eggs are the consistency you like. Serve on toast.

Make 1 dozen hard boiled eggs:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add eggs in gently with a spoon laying them on the bottom of pot.  Once the water returns to a boil add in a teaspoon of baking soda and boil eggs for 12 minutes.
Drain and cover eggs with lots of ice, allow to sit and chill for 15 minutes then remove shells. 
The baking soda trick really helps peel the shells off flawlessly but I recently read an article that said you can crack your dozen eggs into a bowl or dish and cook over a double boiler or bake all at once for egg salad or when adding eggs to potato/macaroni salad - GENIOUS!  I haven't tried this method yet but I did read that it took 5 minutes on the stove over a double boiler or 30 minutes at 350ยบ in a glass pan with that pan sitting in a larger pan of water.
