Kitchen Notes and Tips

• Everyone has their own favorite way to hard boil eggs. Here are two methods you can try:

Cold Water Start: Place eggs in a pot. Add cold water to 1” above eggs. Place them on boiling water. Remove from heat. Cover pan. Let it sit for 22-24 minutes. Remove eggs from water and rinse under cold running water or add to an ice water bath for 5 minutes. 

Instant Pot Method: Place 1 cup cold water in an instant pot. Add trivet. Place eggs on the trivet. Check the seal and that vent is on. Cook on Manual, High Pressure 7 minutes. When time is up Quick Release pressure. Remove eggs and rinse under cold running water. Then place in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes. 

• The horseradish sauce gives this a different edge. It makes the sandwich have a nice kick of flavor without being overwhelming. This makes it a nice variation from the traditional dill or thyme often used in an egg salad sandwich recipe.
