Goat Cheese Egg Salad
Most people would think that this amount of eggs can never be used before it expires. But have no fear, egg salad pretty much uses a whole dozen. And eggs are a great breakfast. I just had my first boiled egg in YEARS!
This is really weird for me, considering that "boiled eggs" was the first words I said when I was a kid. My parents thought it was cute, until I would make them read my favorite picture books. In one of the frames, there was a picture of a bear sitting at the breakfast table eating a boiled egg. I would point and yell "BOILED EGG!! BOILED EGG!!" and my parents would give an exasperated "Cathleen, that is not the point of the story, they are JUST eating breakfast"
So I made double, triple, I don't even know how much of this egg salad, but I loved it. I put it on crackers, made sandwiches, and of course just straight out of the bowl. Over the kitchen sink. Classy.
So I think I know what I'll be making for lunch everyday when I go back to school. Yes, packing my own lunch. I'll give it a try. Whenever I don't think I can do it, I'll just remember how delicious this tastes. And I will make it before you could say hamburger. (Even though it's summer, I haven't had a hamburger in so long. Weird, I know...)
What you'll need:
-8 eggs
-½ cup mayonnaise
-2 teaspoons goat cheese (I used fine herb goat cheese)
+salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and immediately remove from heat.
2. Let eggs stand in the hot water for around 10 minutes
3. Remove from hot water, and place in a bowl of cold water. Peel the eggs, and chop them into cubes.
4. Place the chopped eggs into a medium bowl and stir in the
mayonnaise and goat cheese. Season with salt
and pepper.
I LOVE egg salad, and the goat cheese addition is genius. I also rarely pay attention to expire dates 😉
I have to try this. I love egg salad.
i love the goat cheese in this egg salad! such a creative idea!
Looks rich and creamy...
I have an award waiting for you on my blog... please collect it at your convenience...
I love goat cheese and goat milk, in Sicily when I was small we used to drink only goat's milk because it was the only one available. I am going to borrow your wholewheat and buttermilk pancake recipe, I love buttermilk pancakes. Following you from Rome!
i think you hit on a universal favourite here...boiled eggs!my biggest nightmare is getting allergic to eggs!.......lovely egg salad.
Would love to try goat cheese as well ! But will settle for mayo which kinda boring sometimes 😀 So I add some bacon or ham which is really good ;D ..... Eggs going out of fashion ?! That will be the day ! lol

I love hard-boiled eggs. In fact I have one for breakfast almost everyday. So yeah, I can understand your excitement with boiled eggs when you were a tad! But what I haven't made for some time is egg salad. Really like the idea of using goat cheese in it - I'll try that sometime for sure. Nice post - thanks.
Oh Cathleen, I love egg mayonnaise sandwich!! Unfortunately I won't be able to find goat cheese at my place here..... This is so good for breakfast and a snack. Oh, I really loves this sandwich.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE egg salad! I eat it right out of the bowl too and sometimes I put cream cheese in it - next time I'm going with the goat cheese!
what a great idea. yummy!
This sounds so delicious! I love that you added the goat's cheese.
Delicious looks like your are good kid, my little one doesn't like boiled egg. This egg salad looks perfect.
