This recipe makes about 4 cups
Directions:
- Place the eggs in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 9 minutes
- Once cooked, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs into a bowl of cold water to cool
- When the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel and dice them into small pieces
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, diced celery, diced onions, peas, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and turmeric
- Stir in the diced eggs and mix until all ingredients are evenly combined
- If using, add the diced pickle spears
- Add parchment to your trays
- Spoon the egg salad onto trays
- Freeze dry (my cycle time was 60 hours)
- Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage
Rehydration:
Add ¾ cups freeze-dried egg salad to a bowl along with ⅓ cup of cold water. Let sit for about 5 minutes., stir and enjoy

Can diced apples be added?

Freeze Drying Cookbook replied:
Apples freeze dry fine, so I don’t see why you couldn’t add diced apples.
