Looking for a quick, satisfying meal that never goes out of style? The Egg Salad Sandwich is a timeless favorite—creamy, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re whipping up a light lunch or craving a nostalgic bite, this sandwich delivers comfort in every bite. Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need
For the Egg Salad:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Sandwich:
- 4 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread, toasted
- Butter or crisp lettuce leaves (optional, for extra texture)
How to Make It
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Salad
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chives. Stir gently until everything is well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors to your liking.
Step 2: Prep Your Bread
For a richer bite, spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread. If you’re looking for a lighter option, add crisp lettuce leaves instead—this not only adds freshness but also keeps the bread from getting soggy.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
Scoop a generous portion of the egg salad onto two slices of toasted bread. Top with the remaining slices, pressing down lightly to hold everything together.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some additional chives over the top. Slice your sandwich in half, serve immediately, and enjoy the creamy, savory goodness!
