How Long to Boil Eggs for Egg Salad
I use this method for perfect hard boiled eggs every time. They come out with tender cooked whites and creamy yellow middles (without a grey ring).
I bring them to a boil and then remove from the heat and let sit covered for 15-17 minutes (large eggs). Run under cold water and peel one to make sure it’s perfect.

Can You Freeze Egg Salad?
We don’t recommend freezing egg salad, as it will change the texture and flavor. If you’re OK with that, you can freeze it for up to one month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
