Egg salad – a classic, creamy topping for Danish rye bread (rugbrød) and sandwiches.
Egg salad is a true classic that never goes out of fashion. It is creamy, full of flavour and very easy to make – and it works just as well on the lunch table as in a packed lunch.
This egg salad is made with hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, crème fraîche and plenty of fresh chives, which bring a welcome freshness. A good curry powder and a little turmeric add both colour and a mild, spiced flavour that goes really well with the creamy ingredients.
The egg salad is perfect spread on rye bread, but it is also excellent in a sandwich, on a bagel or on a slice of toast. It is a sure hit on the Easter table too – at an Easter lunch, a Whitsun lunch or a Christmas lunch, where it belongs among the classic lunch dishes.
Top it with a little cress, microgreens, chives or finely chopped spring onions for freshness and a touch of green.
A really simple recipe for homemade egg salad – ready in a few minutes.

good curry powder
- 1/2 tsp
ground turmeric
-
Salt and pepper

Cress, chives or spring onions, to top
Method
- Roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs. If you like, use an egg slicer and cut each egg in two directions: slice it once, then turn the sliced egg a quarter turn and slice it again crosswise.
- Stir the crème fraîche and mayonnaise together, add the curry powder, turmeric, chives and chopped eggs, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Hej Pia
Tusind tak for din besked, og tak fordi du følger med 🙂
Det kan du sagtens gøre ja 🙂 Men prøv også at kigge på min opskrift “karrysalat med æbler” den er virkelig også god til silden 🙂

Kan man erstatte (eller undvære) gurkemeje?
Hej Jan
Det kan du sagtens undlade, – den bidrager mest til farven:)

Hvor lang tid kan den holde ?
Hej Theresa
Hvis alle ingredienser er friske og du sørger for at pakke den tæt, så kan den sagtens holde sig i 4-5 dage:)
