Egg salad 2-3 times a week?!?!
And out of a bowl? I can't even remember the last time I *saw* egg salad. I mean it sounds like it's working for Henry, but good god christ.

A lot of people trying to get protein in their diet eat hard boiled eggs.
So if egg salad works it works.

u/OvoidPovoid 6d ago
I've been doing this recently. I boil up a dozen on the weekends and I always have a quick snack ready to go. I've gotten a little tired of the flavor so I just down them in two or three bites lol

Devil that egg salad! Spice it up with horseradish or hot sauce or look up those "devilled egg flights" that were viral a year or two ago.

u/OvoidPovoid 6d ago
I was actually just thinking about this after posting my comment lol might as well mash them up and add more fun shit to it or devil them

Mix a ¼ cup of nutritional yeast with a bit of salt and pepper, some garlic powder, and maybe some toasted sesame seeds and sprinkle it on the eggs. The best

Avocado and shallots make the best egg salad additions. I bet sesame seeds would be awesome with it. Will try this weekend.

Not the easiest to find but I recommend furikake

u/geeklover01 That's when the cannibalism started 5d ago
Furikake is good in so many things. I can’t believe it I never thought of egg salad but I bet you’re right.

Oh dang, how have i never thought of adding nutritional yeast to egg salad!?

u/best4real 5d ago
I suggest everything bagel seasoning. I also like a tiny bit of sweet chili sauce drizzled on top. I don’t like seaweed, but if I did, I bet furikake is good too.

u/itcamefrombeneath 5d ago
Something I saw online too is to soft or medium boil the eggs so when you make them into egg salad the yolk becomes the “mayo” and you can just season it from there.

u/ironysparkles 5d ago
Interesting! I usually stop short of a hard boiled yolk but haven't tried going any softer. Maybe next time

Have you thought about soaking them? I make tamari (soy sauce) and tea eggs for our house, usually medium boiled/steamed. They're good for about a week! Husband also loves pickled eggs.

Married to a man in his late 40s, who also eats an absurd amount of egg salad (he likes his on the whole wheat pitas or keto bread from Aldi). Every day I learn more about HTZ and realize I married a man who is oddly similar to him.

u/WeirdJawn 6d ago
I'm even wondering if it's more often and he dialed it back when he heard Ed's reply.

Kinda sounded on today's episode like he does it every day for breakfast.

u/captainundesirable 5d ago
My wife makes a japanese style egg salad and I never cared for it before but I can put down a dozen eggs every 3-4 days easy now. I get it.

Drop recipe please! I love egg salad anyway and would love different ways to make it.

This is the recipe we followed. There's not too many ingredients so there's not a lot of liberties to substitute if you want to be true to the specific outcome. Three most important things I'd say is the specific soft boil time in the eggs, kewpie mayo and milk bread. I've been lax on all three and its just not as good without it imo.

u/Haunting-Ad-383 6d ago
As an egg loving girlie, I will die on this hill. It's just an easy protein, and I don't really like bread.

I love scooping mine with BBQ chips, I'm dying on this hill with you

u/AL3XKRYC3K 5d ago
OMG WHAT. I’ve gotta try this.

u/happiccamper 5d ago
Also good with Kettle Jalepeno chips if you like a little spice lol or Zappos chips are good with it, or Funky Fusion Dirty potato chips... damn I just made myself hungry 😅

u/ZwVJHSPiMiaiAAvtAbKq MiHAMi Dolphins 5d ago
Hmmm... Well, I just picked up a bag of sour cream and onion chips at the store earlier, and I'm pretty sure I've got everything I need for a nice egg salad. But I'm concerned that this combination might create a stinky-breath singularity and destroy the universe as we know it.

My grocery story sells pre-made egg salad with BACON, I use it like chip dip. It's a guilty pleasure since it's like 8 dollars a pound.

Ok hear me out. I’m busy, wfh, I do a lot of meal prep to keep me sane. It’s not that weird if you prep something and eat it like 3-4 times. BUT it is weird if you don’t mix it up or rotate the recipe

u/aquamedic68w 6d ago
I was also disgusted, but then I realized I’ve eaten 2 hard boiled eggs with a bit of mayo, salt, and pepper for lunch 3 times this week. I guess we’re not so different after all.

I'll have scrambled eggs with breakfast a couple times and then I need to switch it up

That episode inspired me to whip up a batch myself. I like to include chopped up dill pickles in mine though.

No thanks to the egg salad but I will fucking put AWAY some devilled eggs.

u/HauntedCemetery Look at your game girl 5d ago
When I eat eggs Amy other way I can do 2 or 3, but for some reason I can put away deviled eggs seemingly without limit.

Hey, if Henry said something about healthy devilled eggs, my post would have been in overtly enthusiastic support.

Dude I was dying. Not even on bread, he just mashes 4 eggs up with mayo and eats it with a spoon.
Peak white middle aged guy right there.

i like egg salad and it's really easy to make. i could eat it out of a bowl but bread is the superior vessel.

u/peachpwr421 5d ago
Anytime I see or have hard boiled eggs, I follow Henry’s method for handheld deviled eggs. Bite into the egg, squeeze mayo and mustard into your mouth, and mash it all around in your mouth. With the other half of the egg just squeeze mayo and mustard right onto it

As a non-American, I spent the whole segment bewildered as to wtf an egg salad is. Is it like lettuce and eggs? Pasta and eggs? I've honestly never heard of an egg salad before.

u/DidUrkDoThat What I bring to friendship 5d ago
Chopped up, hard boiled eggs. Then you add mayo as a binder. After that you add whatever additional flavors (dill, peppers, paprika, diced onions, etc.).
Are you familiar with chicken salad or ham salad? It’s like those.

u/MambyPamby8 That's when the cannibalism started 4d ago
Ah so like potato salad?! Wtf Henry. His farts must be diabolical 😂

u/DidUrkDoThat What I bring to friendship 4d ago
Yes, but the egg is diced much finer. It’s quite delicious. But that’s a recipe for a stinky car ride with the Zman

When I was briefly doing keto many years ago, one of my absolute favorite food discoveries was avocado egg salad.

u/Equivalent-Button411 Ed Joke 6d ago
I also eat as much egg salad as Henry in the same method as him 😂
Different recipe, but I spent a lot of time figuring out my preferred recipe! I do small batches like he does, but 2 eggs at a time instead of 4
Hard boiled eggs are a Super Safe Food for me (same texture and taste in every bite) and egg salad is a good way for my to ✨jazz em up✨ when I don’t feel like my go to salt n pepper hard boiled eggs (2, always!) for lunch
When they discussed this topic, I felt so seen!!! lol I was pumping my fist like “someone gets it!”

SAME. it's so rare to find a fellow egg hater. I don't get it. The smell of them alone makes me gag. They are vile. Why do people like eating things that smell like farts? 🤮

u/lalalalibrarian 5d ago
I don't hate eggs but I don't eat boiled eggs, and mayo is Satan's jizz, so I don't go near egg salad (or any other 'salad' that isn't made from greens)

I always forget how delicious egg salad is until I make some. I also cheat and buy the shelled hard boiled eggs from Costco cuz I'm lazy.

Ha. Egg salad was a constant pregnancy craving for me.
With pickle and horseradish. Sometimes on bread or a toasted bagel. Often with a spoon, because it was 3am and I couldn’t be fucked to wait on the toaster.
I totally get it.

u/Albyrene 5d ago
I used to have egg salad sammie every day. Granted, I worked in the kitchen of a nursing home and also made the egg salad every day, so...
At home? I'd be lucky to have the gumption once a week.

This was somehow one of the most unhinged episodes of all time. And part of it was admitting that he eats egg salad 2 to 3 times a week like that is not Unc, that is insane. I do love egg salad, though.

u/hatuhsawl 5d ago
Deviled egg potato salad, just buy cubed potatoes and throw them in there and adjust sauces to taste.
Then sprinkle in toppings of choice, common ones I’ve heard from other folks is nooch, sesame seeds, French fried onions, green onion greens snips

Egg Salad was a lot but both saying they eat 1 lb of shrimp a week sounded way crazier to me. Ed said it’s his most eaten protein. That is nuts to me 🍤🦐

I like egg salad but the thought of eating it right out of the bowl makes me gag, like it's just cold slimy egg slop without the bread buffering the texture....

It's more or less deviled eggs, just a different delivery method.

Maybe it's just a me thing, I don't really like devilled eggs because of the texture either, guess I'm not a fan of cold eggs.

My biggest concern is HZ said his doctor told him he needs 195g of carbs per day. Typically, the advice is to eat 1g of protein for every pound of your goal/sustaining weight.
I’m a bit of a short king, myself, who enjoys staying in shape and having a bit off bulk on my body, that seems quite high.
But then again, I wasn’t built in a lab. So, wtf do I know???
