Linda'S Egg Salad Sandwich (Sandwiches) Or Finger Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 hard-boiled eggs, finely mashed
1/2 small onion, finely diced
15 green olives, finely diced
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons mustard
salt and pepper, to taste
1 (6 ounce) can shrimp, drained, and shredded between your fingers (optional)
2 -3 dozen finger rolls

Preparation

Put eggs in water, and make sure water is covering eggs. Add 1 teaspoons of salt to water. Cover, and bring to a boil.
When water starts to boil, take off burner, and let sit for 15 minutes Drain water.
Tap the eggs on the counter when you are ready to peel, to break the shell, and under cold running water, peel the egg. This helps the shell to come off easier.
Mash eggs and whites, using a fork. Make sure there are no lg. pieces of egg white. Mash them good. Chill in the fridge.
Meanwhile, add the mayonnaise and mustard together, and mix well. Add to the eggs, along with the onion and olives. If using shrimp, add at this time as well.
Salt and pepper, to taste. Mix all well, and chill. (Be careful with the salt, as the olives and shrimp are salty).
