Today I would like to share a recipe for ham and egg salad. I know when it’s so hot outside, I dread spending an hour in the kitchen making dinner. Instead, I tend to turn to easy dishes, especially cold ones, like this salad. Serve it on a big bun, alongside fresh watermelon and a green salad (and maybe some chips!), and you have a quick, easy, and delicious summer meal!
I made these hard-boiled eggs in the oven. Have you tried that method yet? You simply place one egg in each cavity of a muffin tin (I used a mini muffin tin) and place the eggs in a 350 degree oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Then place the hot eggs in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes. The eggs will be done perfectly and the ice bath makes them peel so easily. Of course, these still take time to make, but I found it to be so much easier than boiling the eggs!
Since we had some leftover ham, I decided to toss it into the egg salad. It was a great decision! Mike and I both really enjoyed this salad and it was quite filling.
