When it’s hot outside and you’re looking for an easy way to hard-boil eggs for egg salad without turning on your stove, try using a crockpot or slow cooker instead. It’s a simple way to make hard-boiled eggs without overheating your kitchen during the warmer months of the year. A few capers and a little bit of tarragon vinegar make this crockpot egg salad bright, tangy, full of flavor, and perfect for summer gatherings or a refreshing lunch on a warm day.

How many eggs do you currently have stinking up your refrigerator? Maybe you never actually managed to find the time to hard-boil or decorate the few dozen eggs you picked up with overzealous thoughts of creating the most beautifully dyed eggs that could easily rival those gracing the cover of a Martha Stewart magazine. What a joke. No matter how carefully we plan, I think we can all admit to being satisfied if even one egg comes out with an even color tone that isn’t lime green or shit brown. Sadly I think that most households suffer from the same predicament in the days following Easter; ugly-as-sin colored eggs that we have no idea what to do with, or a few dozen raw eggs lying in wait for their destiny to be fulfilled. Instead of shoving those eggs further and further back into the depths of the fridge in an attempt to deny their existence, pull them out and transform them into a delicious lunch or dinner with the use of Crockpot Hard-Boiled Eggs.

Ingredients:

Hard-Boiled Eggs:

• 6 Eggs
• Water
• 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Vinegar

Egg Salad:

• 1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
• 1 Tablespoon Capers, Very Finely Minced
• 1 Teaspoon Tarragon Vinegar
• 1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
• 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Paprika

Directions:

Hard-Boiled Eggs:

1. Gently place the eggs in a crockpot and cover with water by 1/2-inch.
2. Add the salt and vinegar to the crockpot.
3. Cover and cook on high heat for 2 1/2 hours.
4. Remove the eggs and place them in an ice bath for 30 minutes.
5. Peel the eggs under cold running water, pat dry, and then finely chop and place in a medium-sized bowl.

Egg Salad:

1. Whisk together all of the egg salad ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Pour the mayonnaise mixture onto the chopped eggs and mix well to combine.
3. Serve with crackers or on a sandwich.

Suggestions:

• Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
• Use an egg slicer to chop the eggs.
• To make the egg salad, use apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or champagne vinegar if you don’t have tarragon vinegar on hand. You can use any kind of vinegar to hard-boil the eggs, however, I suggest using white vinegar because it’s cheaper.
• You may choose to use more or less mayonnaise depending on how creamy you prefer your egg salad.
