First things first, check out how beautiful this egg salad looks!
Now, let’s gather our ingredients so we can get cooking! Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of your choice of bread
- Lettuce leaves (for serving)
Instructions:
- First, let’s boil those eggs! Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water, making sure the water is about an inch above the eggs. Bring it to a rolling boil over medium heat.
- Once it reaches a boil, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes.
- After the time is up, transfer those eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them down quickly. This will also make peeling them a whole lot easier!
- Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them up into small pieces. Aim for a nice chunky texture that’s still spreadable.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, red onion, celery, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything gently until well combined. Don’t go too crazy or you’ll end up with egg mush!
- Now grab your favorite slices of bread and spread a generous amount of that egg salad on one slice. Add a few crisp lettuce leaves for that crunch factor and top it with another slice of bread.
- Slice your sandwich in half and serve it up with pride!
And there you have it! A delicious egg salad sandwich that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds. Enjoy it with a side of your favorite chips or a nice salad, and you’re good to go. Happy eating!
