Classic Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients:

6 large eggs

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 celery stalk, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill or chives, chopped (optional)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 slices of sandwich bread, toasted

Instructions:

  1. Boil the eggs:
    Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and cool the eggs in cold water.
  2. Prepare the filling:
    Peel the eggs and chop them finely. In a bowl, mix together the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, and dill (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble the sandwich:
    Spread the egg salad evenly over two slices of toasted bread. Top with the remaining slices and cut diagonally.
  4. Serve:
    Enjoy immediately, or chill the egg salad before assembling for a refreshing cold sandwich.

Optional Additions:

Add lettuce or tomato slices for extra crunch.

Substitute Greek yogurt for half the mayo for a lighter version.

Sprinkle a little paprika on top for extra flavor.
