Delicious Egg Salad Sandwich
The key to a perfect egg salad is in the simplicity of its ingredients and the technique of preparation. Let’s dive into the ingredients you’ll need before we step into the kitchen.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
- 4 slices of bread (your choice)
- Lettuce leaves, for serving
Instructions
- Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, making sure there’s about an inch of water above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for about 12 minutes.
- After the time is up, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them down quickly. Let them sit for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. If you’re using green onions, fold them in at this stage as well. Mix everything gently until well combined.
- Now, it’s time to assemble your sandwiches! Lay out the slices of bread and place a generous scoop of the egg salad on two slices. Top with lettuce leaves and place the remaining slices of bread on top to create sandwiches.
- Slice the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately, or wrap them up for later. Enjoy your delicious homemade egg salad sandwiches!
