Ingredients
Egg Salad
- 6 large hard boiled eggs, peeled
- 3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), to taste
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving
- 8 slices sandwich bread
- Lettuce (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, mash the peeled hard-boiled eggs with a fork until broken into small pieces but still slightly chunky. Add the yellow mustard, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), salt, and pepper, then mix thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed to suit your preference.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Take two slices of sandwich bread and spoon a generous amount of the egg salad mixture onto one slice. If desired, add a leaf of fresh lettuce on top for crunch and freshness. Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Repeat to make a total of four sandwiches.
- Storage: Any leftover egg salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, depending on the freshness of the eggs used. Always check for any off smells or changes before consuming.
Notes
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
- Add chopped celery or green onions for extra crunch and flavor.
- Use whole grain or gluten-free bread to customize the sandwich to your dietary needs.
- Ensure eggs are fully boiled to avoid any runny yolk which affects texture.
- Chilling the egg salad before assembling sandwiches can enhance flavor and make spreading easier.
