Chicken Legs’ loves egg salad sandwiches. They are his all-time favorite. He would eat them every day if he could. I decided to try a new version of egg salad last weekend – Scrambled Egg Salad. Instead of hard boiling the eggs, I scrambled the eggs. It was so quick and much easier than boiling and peeling eggs. It only took about 5 minutes to throw this together. The best part, the egg salad tasted great. Next time to you have a hankering for an egg salad sandwich, try this version. Quick and delicious!

Pattyb – I make egg salad all the time. This is such a quick and simple recipe. Hope you enjoy it!
I just made egg salad this morning. Wish I had known about your recipe. I will be trying this very soon.
I do not like plain eggs for some crazy reason ! But this recipe looks and sounds wonderful . I am going to give it a try . My Grandma cooked eggs with poke salad when I was young and I loved them ! I am too lazy to go on a hike to pick wild Poke Salad , so I use spinach in my breakfast eggs . Sooo good !
Thanks for the, "Now why didn't I think of that?" moment! I'm totally addicted to this version of egg salad – I've had it for dinner one night this week, and it's been my lunch for 2 days in a row! Great idea!!!
How brilliant is that! Egg salad is what I would order for my last meal and this is a quick fix. (Just in case I don't get a lot of warning on the last meal thing. lol)
Made for dinner tonight and I too will never boil the eggs again for egg salad sandwiches, this was so much easier. I added a pinch of cayenne. I didn't have any celery so used green onion.
Great minds must travel the same paths. I did the same thing last week and you cannot tell whether the eggs were boiled in the shell or scrambled. So much quicker and easier. I wont ever boil eggs for egg salad again!
On the menu for tonight!
I love this idea!
Can't wait to try this!
I've always thought I hated egg salad but maybe it's more about the fact that I hate hard boiled eggs. I think I would really like this version!
This way there are no chunks of egg whites. It's all mixed together. The egg white are what I don't like about HB egg salad. I like to do mine with grated cheese added to the scramble mixture. Adds another dimension of flavour!!
I've often wondered if it would work. So good to know!!! looks delish.
