Ingredients

Scale

Egg Salad Filling

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped or mashed
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Bread

  • 4 slices whole grain or white bread

Instructions

  1. Boil and Prepare the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Cool under running water, peel, and chop finely or mash with a fork to your preferred consistency.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended to form the creamy base of your egg salad.
  3. Add Crunch and Flavor: Fold in the chopped celery and, if using, green onions. These add fresh bursts of flavor and a satisfying crunch that contrast beautifully with the creamy eggs.
  4. Combine and Adjust Seasoning: Gently mix the prepared eggs with the dressing and veggies until evenly coated. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed to suit your palate.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the egg salad onto your bread slices. Top with another slice of bread, cut in half if you like, and enjoy immediately or pack for later.

Notes

  • Start with room-temperature eggs to prevent cracking and get a perfect yolk texture.
  • Combine ingredients gently to keep the egg salad fluffy, not mushy.
  • Let the egg salad rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to let flavors meld for a tastier bite.
  • Use sturdy bread like sourdough or whole grain to hold up against the creamy filling.
  • Start with a small amount of spicy ingredients and increase gradually to suit your spice tolerance.
