Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard (optional, for a tangy kick)
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion or green onion
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped celery (adds crunch)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Bread of choice (white, wheat, rye, croissant, or toast)
  • Optional: lettuce, tomato slices, paprika

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off heat and cover. Let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain and transfer eggs to an ice water bath to cool. Peel once chilled.
  3. Chop the eggs and place them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Add mayo, mustard (if using), onion, celery, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve between slices of your favorite bread. Add lettuce or tomato for extra flavor and texture.
  7. Optional: sprinkle a dash of paprika on top for color and a subtle smoky flavor.

📝 Pro Tip: Make it ahead—the flavor deepens after chilling for an hour in the fridge.
