Description
A classic, creamy Egg Salad Sandwich made with perfectly boiled eggs, mayonnaise, and mustard for a simple yet delicious lunch. Served on soft bread with optional crisp lettuce, it’s quick, satisfying, and timeless.
Ingredients
6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
3–4 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), to taste
1 tsp yellow mustard
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 slices sandwich bread
Lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Place peeled hard-boiled eggs in a mixing bowl and mash with a fork until finely chopped, leaving a few larger pieces for texture.
- Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Spread a generous spoonful of egg salad onto a slice of bread. Add lettuce if desired, then top with another slice of bread.
- Cut sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately with chips, fruit, or a side salad.
Notes
Add finely chopped celery, onion, or pickles for extra crunch.
Use Dijon or spicy mustard for a flavor twist.
Substitute Greek yogurt or mashed avocado for a lighter version.
For added freshness, mix in herbs like dill or chives.
Keep the egg salad chilled until serving, especially for packed lunches.
