Question
If one eats a salad containing a whole hard-boiled egg, should one also bless the egg with 'Shehakol', or is it considered part of the salad and covered by the blessing 'Borei Pri Ha'adama'? Additionally, if a piece of egg is alone on the spoon, does one need to bless it with 'Shehakol', or is it already covered by the blessing 'Borei Pri Ha'adama'?
Answer
Shalom
A whole egg is not mixed with the salad and is eaten on its own, therefore one blesses it with 'Shehakol'.
If the egg is cut into pieces that are lifted together with other parts of the salad on the spoon, one blesses everything with the blessing of the salad, which is the majority.
In the case where the egg is cut and nullified to the majority, even if one happens to eat a piece of egg on its own, one does not bless it with 'Shehakol', and it is covered by the blessing of the salad.
