Kitchen Notes and Tips

• Everyone has their 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 in boiling water. Remove from heat. Cover the pan. Let it sit for 22-24 minutes. Remove eggs from the water and rinse under cold running water, or add them to an ice water bath for 5 minutes.  Instant Pot Method: Place 1 cup of cold water in an Instant Pot. Add trivet. Place eggs on the trivet. Check the seal and that the 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.

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: varies depending on the method of cooking eggs Serves: 6 sandwiches
