There’s nothing quite like a classic Egg Salad Sandwich to bring back those wonderful, lazy summer days. My grandma used to whip up her special version for picnics and it was always the star of the show. This recipe is inspired by those cherished memories. It’s simple, creamy, and utterly delicious, making it perfect for anyone from busy professionals to moms on the go.
Its difficulty level is easy, so even if you’re new to the kitchen, you’ll be able to create a mouthwatering sandwich in no time!
- 8 large eggs,
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise,
- 1 tablespoon mustard,
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery,
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives,
- Salt and pepper to taste,
- 8 slices of your favorite bread,
- Lettuce leaves (optional),
- Slices of tomato (optional),
Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to a cold water bath to cool.
Peel the cooled eggs and chop finely. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped eggs with mayonnaise, mustard, celery, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Toast the bread slices if desired. Spread the egg salad evenly onto 4 slices of bread. If using, add lettuce and slices of tomato on top of the egg salad before covering with the remaining slices of bread. Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
