Keto Egg Fast Chili Cheese Egg Salad
How to Make It
Step 1
Place whole eggs in the bottom of a pot, and fill the pot with water until the eggs are covered. Bring the pot to a boil on your stove, then continue to boil the eggs for an additional 12 minutes until they reach a hard boil. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath until they’re fully cooled. Peel the eggs, and place your hard-boiled eggs in a clean mixing bowl.
Step 2
Use a potato masher or fork to mash the eggs. You can choose if you want to have a consistent texture throughout your egg salad or have a chunkier mixture of egg whites and egg yolks. Next, mix mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, hot sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin into the egg salad. Fold the ingredients over to avoid breaking the eggs down anymore.
Step 3
Set the egg salad aside while you make the chili cheese component of the recipe. Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat on your stovetop. Stir in the heavy cream until the butter and cream come together and begin to bubble. Without letting the ingredients reach simmering, stir cheddar cheese into the pan until the cheese melts and brings the sauce together. Stir chili powder into the sauce and remove the pan from the heat.
Step 4
Let the chili cheese sauce cool for just about 30 seconds before pouring it into the egg salad. Fold the salad over again until the cheese sauce spreads throughout the mixture. You may choose to serve the egg salad warm or chilled – both are good! You may wish to include egg-fast-friendly garnishes such as chopped green onion or parsley, additional hot sauce or chili powder, or a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
