Equipment

  • Big Pot with Cover
  • Big Bowl
  • Ice

Ingredients

  • 9 pcs Eggs
  • 6 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • Salt and Pepper To taste

Instructions

  • In a big pot, place your eggs ensuring there are spaces in between.
  • Fill up your pot with room temperature water about 1/2 an inch above the egg.
  • In high heat, boil the eggs. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs cook in the hot water for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare an ice bath and once the eggs are done, carefully transfer them to the ice bath. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the eggs have cooled.
  • Peel the eggs, wash away any excess shells, and pat dry.
  • Slice the eggs in half and separate the egg whites from the yolks.
  • Chop the egg whites as chunky or as minced as you like.
  • Add mayonnaise to the yolks and season them with salt and pepper. Mash and mix until creamy and tasty.
  • Fold the egg whites into the creamed yolk. Taste and adjust to your liking.
  • Let it cool in the fridge for an hour, then serve with bread, crackers, or lettuce, and enjoy!
