Few things are as simple and satisfying as egg salad. Add a bit of curry powder for a golden hue, then dollop onto dark pumpernickel squares for a stunning contrast in colour and texture.
Perfect Hard-Cooked Eggs
For the best hard-cooked eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan. Add cold water to cover. Place lid on pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Then remove pan from heat to stop boiling. Let stand, covered, 25 minutes. Drain, then run under cold water for easy peeling.
