No-Peel Egg Salad Recipe: A Game-Changer in Your Kitchen

Egg salad is a timeless classic that can elevate your breakfast, lunch, or even a quick snack. But what if we told you there was a way to make this dish even easier? Introducing my viral No-Peel Egg Salad recipe! This method for cooking eggs eliminates the hassle of peeling entirely, saving you time and frustration. It’s a kitchen hack I shared on TikTok in 2022, and it quickly became a sensation—so much so that it was featured on Today Show’s food blog and recreated by countless content creators.

What Makes This Egg Salad Unique?

The secret lies in how the eggs are cooked. Instead of boiling and peeling, you’ll use a metal loaf pan and a larger glass 9×13 dish for a simple water bath. This method is not only incredibly convenient but also ensures perfectly cooked eggs every time. It’s a trick I initially thought up myself, but as it turns out, it’s a technique some restaurant chefs have been using for years to prepare large batches of eggs efficiently. Who knew?

Another standout feature of this recipe is the creamy dressing. By using half mayonnaise and half Greek yogurt, you’ll cut down on calories while boosting protein. This little swap is one of my favorite kitchen hacks because it saves on calories without sacrificing flavor. Greek yogurt is tangy and rich, making it the perfect partner to mayonnaise for a healthier egg salad.

Step One: Cook the No-Peel Eggs

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease a metal loaf pan with oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Crack the eggs directly into the loaf pan, ensuring the yolks remain intact if possible.
  4. Place the loaf pan inside a larger glass 9×13 dish.
  5. Add water to the larger dish until it reaches the level of the eggs in the loaf pan. This water bath ensures even cooking.
  6. Bake for 25-35 minutes, depending on the exact size and type of dishes you use. The eggs should be set but not overcooked.
  7. Allow the eggs to cool for several minutes before using a spatula to release them from the pan.

Step Two: Chop and Mash

Once cooled, chop the eggs into small pieces. For a creamier texture, mash a couple of the eggs with a fork.

Step Three: Prepare the Dressing

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, pickle juice, dill, garlic powder, and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step Four: Combine

  1. Add the chopped eggs to the bowl with the dressing.
  2. Gently fold the eggs into the mixture until evenly coated.

Why This Recipe Works

The No-Peel Method

Gone are the days of tediously peeling eggshells! By cooking the eggs in a loaf pan, you’ll achieve perfectly cooked eggs that are easy to chop. The water bath technique prevents the eggs from overcooking, ensuring a tender texture every time. Trust me, once you try this method, you’ll never go back.

A Healthier Dressing

Swapping half the mayo for Greek yogurt is a game-changer. Greek yogurt is not only lower in calories but also packed with protein, making this egg salad a healthier option without compromising on creaminess or flavor. Little hacks like this are my go-to for keeping recipes light and satisfying.

Versatile and Easy

This egg salad is perfect for so many occasions:

  • Serve it as a side dish for Easter brunch, or use it to make a hearty egg sandwich for breakfast. The possibilities are endless!
  • No-peel boiled eggs make it a breeze for meal prep.
  • It’s a high-protein, gluten-free option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
