Stuart's Favorite Breakfast

So, this is Stuart's favorite breakfast.  I was watching FoodTV like usual and Stuart saw Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, making some egg salad, smoked salmon sandwiches, and he decided that would be a great breakfast.  So, I made him some egg salad and we bought some English muffins and fresh dill.  I always have smoked salmon because my favorite breakfast is a pumpernickle bagel half with cream cheese, dill, and smoked salmon.  Nothing hard about this breakfast since my egg salad is nothing more than boiled eggs, a little mayo and a little Dijon mustard.  Toast the muffin, add the smoked salmon, top with egg salad, and finish with fresh dill.

How to Boil Eggs:

First, start with old eggs, never just-purchased ones.  If they are a week or so old, they will peel much easier.  Put room temperature eggs into a pot of water, cover and bring to a boil.  Once the water boils, turn the heat off and let the eggs sit for 15 minutes (I use extra large eggs so if you use large reduce time by about 3 minutes). Remove from the stove, drain, and rinse with cold water.  Add a large glass of ice and let eggs cool for about 10 minutes.  Then peel eggs and either chop for the egg salad or do what I do:  Put them in the food processor!  Add just enough mayonnaise to make eggs stick together (probably about 1/2 cup for about 6 eggs), and about 1 t. Dijon mustard.  That's it!!
