Egg salad sandwich

I had a craving for hard-boiled eggs. So for lunch, I made an egg salad sandwich.

I don't know if this is my very first time boiling eggs but I can't remember the last time that I did. I tried carefully lowering eggs into simmering water but the level of water was too high and the egg just dropped straight to the bottom and cracked. I tried again with the second egg, but the same thing happened. Yeah, I'm a quick learner. I finally came to my senses and lowered two more eggs into the water with tongs.

The cracked eggs turned out fine and one of the eggs I didn't crack actually busted open in the hot water. According to the Joy of Cooking, some cooks prick a small hole in the ends of the eggshells to prevent the shell from cracking. I figured this isn't really necessary.

Besides boiling the eggs just right, the recipe is simple. Here's my version of an egg salad sandwich.

In a bowl, add and stir well to combine:

4 eggs, hard-boiled and diced
1/2 shallot, minced
1 carrot, finely diced
2 pieces of bacon, baked until crispy and chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons hummus

Place between two pieces of toasted bread and enjoy!! This was absolutely delicious and easy to make.
