Ingredients
1 dozen hard boiled eggs
1 c cheddar cheese, freshly grated
1 c pepper jack cheese, freshly grated
1/2 c mayonnaise
1 tbsp mustard
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp smoked paprika
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Peel your hard boiled eggs, rinse them off with water to make sure there are no remaining egg shells
2. Using a julienne blade on a mandoline or a cheese grater, shred up the eggs into small pieces. Using a mandoline will result in larger egg pieces, while a cheese grater will give smaller, more fine pieces - do as you prefer! Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Add in the freshly grated cheeses - this will be about half of a 7oz block of each cheese - you can do 2 cups of one type of cheese, but the pepper jack adds a nice, subtle kick.
4. Add in the mayonnaise, mustard, press in the garlic cloves (feel free to add more if you like it garlicky!), paprika, and salt & pepper. Mix it all together, making sure all ingredients get evenly distributed.
5. Serve it up on some toasted bread for egg salad sandwiches, or in a bowl with a side of crackers to eat like a dip!
