Classic Creamy Egg Salad Sandwich

πŸ₯š Ingredients (Makes 4 sandwiches)

For the Egg Salad:

  • 8 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (use good quality for best flavor)

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional but recommended)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or white vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions or chives

  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • Optional: pinch of paprika

For the Sandwich:

  • 8 slices soft sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)

  • Softened butter (optional, for spreading)

  • Extra dill for garnish (optional)


πŸ”₯ Step 1: Cook the Eggs Perfectly

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water (about 1 inch above eggs).

  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.

  4. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath for 5–10 minutes.

  5. Peel and pat dry.


πŸ”ͺ Step 2: Chop the Eggs

  • Roughly chop eggs for a chunkier texture
    OR

  • Mash lightly with a fork for a creamier spread

Tip: Don’t over-mash β€” the sandwich in the photo has visible egg chunks.


πŸ₯£ Step 3: Make the Egg Salad

In a bowl combine:

  • Chopped eggs

  • Mayonnaise

  • Dijon mustard

  • Lemon juice

  • Celery

  • Green onions

  • Dill

  • Salt & pepper

Gently fold everything together until creamy but still textured.

Taste and adjust seasoning.


🍞 Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Lightly butter bread (optional but adds flavor).

  2. Spoon a generous amount of egg salad onto one slice.

  3. Spread evenly to the edges.

  4. Top with another slice of bread.

  5. Slice in half (diagonal looks best!).

Sprinkle a little paprika or extra dill on top for presentation.


❄️ Storage

  • Store egg salad in airtight container in fridge.

  • Best eaten within 3 days.

  • Do not freeze.


πŸ§‘β€πŸ³ Pro Tips for Extra Creamy Texture

  • Use room temperature eggs when mixing.

  • Add 1 tablespoon sour cream for extra richness.

  • For ultra-smooth: mash 1 yolk separately and mix into mayo first.
