Let’s talk about eggs!

Eggs are an excellent keto food choice! They’re low in both calories and carbs. You may see eggs referred to as a “superfood” because they’re loaded with nutrients. Eggs provide us with calcium, choline, folate, lutein, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, and vitamins A, B, D, E, and K. They’re also an awesome source of protein and good fat. One of my favorite things about eggs is the amount of ways they can be cooked. You can bake, boil, fry, poach, or scramble eggs. And within each of these cooking methods, you can choose the exact doneness you prefer for your eggs. The other great thing about eggs is that it’s incredibly easy to incorporate them into all kinds of keto dishes. They’re awesome in breakfast dishes such as egg casseroles, frittatas, omelets, quiches, and scrambles. You can also add them to main dishes, salads, sandwiches, and stir fry dishes.

How do I make the hard boiled eggs for this cream cheese egg salad?

Hard boiled eggs are one of the things I love to have in my refrigerator. When I make a small batch of hard boiled eggs, I make them using my Dash rapid egg cooker. It’s one of my all-time favorite appliances. When I make a large batch of hard boiled eggs, I boil them on the stove. I start by adding enough water to a stockpot to cover my eggs and bring the water to a boil. Then I add the eggs. Once the water returns to a boil, I boil my eggs for 14 minutes. I’m cooking at an elevation of about 7350 feet and things take a little longer to cook, so your eggs will likely only take about 12 minutes. You’ll want to prepare an ice water bath and place your eggs into it once they’re done cooking to stop the cooking process.

What goes into the dressing for this cream cheese egg salad?

The dressing for this egg salad comes together quickly, but it’s so delicious! To create the rich and creamy base for our dressing, we combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. I use the Chosen Foods brand avocado oil mayonnaise for my dressing. When buying mayo, you’ll want to make sure there is no added sugar or oils that you don’t want. To add a little touch of brine, we add some dill pickle juice. You can add even more if you’d like. I added yellow mustard, which gives this egg salad some awesome color; but you can use Dijon mustard if you’d prefer. We then add keto sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper. If you want to add a smoky element, you can use smoked paprika in place of the regular. You can also give your egg salad a taste and add more salt to taste.
