You can find an egg and cheese salad-spread in most of the Russian delis. The recipe is very simple; just hard boiled eggs, cheese such as Havarti, or some times cream cheese and always just plain mayonnaise. I like this salad, but try to make it deferent every time. Lemon or lime zest and juice, a little of finely grated garlic, deferent seasonal herbs, deferent spices, some ginger or wasabi, curry powder or turmeric and most of the time some kind of seeds or nuts are enriching the mayonnaise base in my versions. For this recipe I made an aioli from scratch and just added a small amount of mayo. You can serve this salad as a spread on bread or crackers; stuff mini bell peppers or tomatoes for a fancy presentation or use as a condiment in all kind of sandwiches.
