You can make hard boiled eggs on the stove, instant pot hard boiled eggs or my favorite method – Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs.
Variations
I like to keep my egg salad simple, that is just my preference but you can add chopped celery, bell pepper or even pickles to yours. Have fun with it and adapt it to your taste! This recipe easily doubles or triples. Hate mayo? Use fat free Greek yogurt instead. Add some paprika, curry powder… the ideas or endless.
Protein in Eggs
Whole eggs are one of the most nutritious foods available. Whole eggs are high in protein, but egg whites are almost pure protein. By swapping out the yolk for half of your eggs, you’re still getting the protein, only you’re having half the fat. One single large egg is about 72 calories, 17 in the whites and 55 in the yolks. There are about 6 grams of protein in one large egg and roughly 3.5 in the egg white alone.
