All it takes is a few eggs, a bit of mayonnaise, and one typical salad ingredient to serve a delicacy that everyone will enjoy. Grandmothers know what's good and don't need fancy additions to prepare a dish that everyone will reach for.

This is one of the simplest options when you need to prepare something for guests. My grandmother was a master of easy snacks, and eggs in mayonnaise sauce with peas were her specialty, especially when the plate was garnished with dill from her own garden.

Quick snack for the table: eggs in sauce with peas are unmatched

In the "quick and easy" category, eggs in mayonnaise sauce with peas take the lead. Just cut a few eggs and drizzle them with a generous amount of mayonnaise sauce, and guests at the table will be delighted. It's something everyone knows, enjoys, and will eagerly come back for seconds.

The key to success here, besides preparing a tasty sauce, is boiling the eggs so that they don't have a grayish ring. This often appears when the eggs have spent too much time in hot water. Make sure not to boil them for more than 10 minutes.
