Hard-boiled eggs in their shell will last in the fridge for about a week. Peeled eggs will last about 2 days so if you are making this recipe to eat right away, you can make your eggs ahead of time to save a bit of prep time once you are ready to make your egg salad.
A potato masher works well if you don’t have a pastry cutter to mash up your eggs.
For an extra yummy option, toast your croissant or bread before adding the egg mixture.
