Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Have you ever boiled eggs for a salad or easy snack

one can cooked spinach (like popeye used to eat). drain well.
add one boiled egg chopped. add 1-2 tbsp of Best Foods Mayo if in the west, Hellmans? in the east.

mix well. goes with steak or ribs or anything good...
my kids called it cow cud salad.
my mom found out we would eat spinach that way..

If one is looking for more than one way to skin a cat. Boiled eggs are close to food perfection.

We do it very often.

I too use the Instapot to boil eggs. Easy to peel. I boiled some yesterday. used some for pickles.

Jameister: ditto on the Popeye’s spinach. I have also used frozen box spinach with Lipton Onion Soup Mix mixed in with a dollop of sour cream mixed in. Bake and serve with sliced hard boiled egg. The sliced hard boiled egg is also good with asparagus. All are good side dishes with seafood or catfish. My wife loves the hard boiled egg on salads and we make deviled eggs too. A must for potato salad and pasta salad with a little dill or sweet pickle relish added to mayo and yellow mustard mixture.

Boiled eggs are called protein pounders at our house. When the kids were playing sports, we went through flats of eggs, like chit through a goose.

I’m considered a pre diabetic so I try cutting carbs wherever I can. I have three boiled eggs and either bacon or sausage for my breakfast at work. Easy to make and filling. Still have mad cravings for anything sweet though.

My wife makes them all the time. Great snacks. I like them with salt, pepper and dipped in Tabasco...slurp!

doing it right now, going to make deviled eggs

I eat 3 or 4 every morning for breakfast. They are a great high protein way to start the day. We have 16 hens, and even during moulting season we get enough eggs. The problem is, they have super tough shells, with a thick membrane between the shell and the white. This makes some of them almost impossible to peel.
I got my wife an Instapot for Christmas. We will have to try it for eggs. Any tips?

We eat a bunch of them around here. We raise a new batch of hens every summer so we always have plenty of eggs. The trick to easy peel eggs is used cold refrigerated eggs and drop them straight in to the boiling water. Do not put them in a pot of cold water so they slowly heat up to a boil or they will tear apart every time.

have eggs for salad or deviled eggs most every day.

We use a Express Egg Cooker just add a little water and eggs and its done in minutes!

I steam them; 15-16 minutes, let sit for another minute, then put the steamer basket in a bowl of cold water and run the tap over them until they cool down. That time is for Jumbo eggs (which are getting LESS Jumbo in Biden’s Build Back Better economy).

Fixed it.

I've had nothing but bad results when dropping cold eggs into boiling water. The eggs usually break open and make a mess in the pan.

Boiled eggs are a staple in my lunchbox. I seldom bring a sandwich anymore because I don't like falling down off the sugar spike from the carbs in the bread.

yum. all good. and nothing better than a couple hard boiled eggsfuming after a couple of beers... makes the outdoors the only place you want to be...
