truffled egg salad | superman cooksThe Easter holiday has passed, and we found ourselves with more hardboiled eggs than we knew what to do with. There are only so many times I can peel one and eat it with salt and pepper; I needed to find a creative way to use up our holiday leftovers. This truffled egg salad recipe is inspired by Jackie and the love she has for truffles. She has created a truffle lover in me as well.

There is nothing like a tiny amount freshly shaved over buttered pasta. Real truffles are very pricey and difficult to find, however, so we rely on smooth tasting truffle oil, which provides loads of flavor at an affordable price. Truffle oil is a great compliment for egg salad; the flavors blend well, and the finished product is not oily in consistency.

The crunchy endive makes for a great vessel for this special egg salad; I think it is a great menu idea for a Sunday brunch or a bridal shower. The addition of freshly shaved parmesan gave our egg salad an authentic Italian flare. I really like the way this recipe came out. For the first time, I actually wish I had more leftover Easter eggs.
