Are you ready for this arugula egg salad?

What is your favorite egg salad?

Egg are is one of those ingredients that I always have in my fridge, no matter what. We like our bacon and fried egg breakfast here every morning. So we go through quite a lot of eggs every week.

A dozen is often not enough.

Egg Recipes

Fried eggs are always a great meal idea, even if you have very little other ingredients in your kitchen. What we like for  lunch for instance, is a slice of pan fried corned beef topped off with a lush fried egg.

Absolutely to die for!

Another lovely fried egg lunch idea is one with an Asian twist: my Malaysian fried eggs belanda. Or in other words fried eggs with bell pepper in a sweet and sour tamarind sauce.

Another one of our family favorites.

How about you?

Do you have a favorite egg recipe?

Breakfast, lunch, appetizer dip, dinner, snack even… Eggs are so versatile, so many dishes you can make with them.

Easy Creamy Arugula Egg Salad

One of my favorite quick recipes (and many of you will agree): a creamy salad of course.

So to keep an egg salad appetizing and cool is to add some great extra ingredients. I love a creamy arugula egg salad for instance.

With capers, red onion and a generous dollop of mayo.

I love to keep my egg salads quite chunky. Therefore I prefer to dice the egg whites up separately. Spread the egg salad on a thick slice of sourdough.

I love to spread this egg salad on some grilled bread.

And how about a crunchy croissant for breakfast?

Yum.

Enjoy!
