Instructions
Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let the eggs sit for about 10-12 minutes.
- Drain and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for a few minutes before peeling.
- Peel and chop the eggs into small pieces.
Step 2: Make the Egg Salad
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until everything is well blended but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you like a little spice, add a dash of hot sauce or more paprika.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
- Lay out your bread slices and spread butter on one side (optional, for richness).
- Place a layer of lettuce on the bottom slice (optional, for crunch).
- Spoon the egg salad generously onto the bread.
- Top with the second slice of bread and gently press down.
- Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap it up for later.
Tips for the Best Egg Salad Sandwich
- Use Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs result in a creamier texture and better flavor.
- Add Texture: Mix in finely diced celery, pickles, or even crispy bacon for extra crunch.
- Customize the Flavor: Try adding a dash of smoked paprika, a splash of hot sauce, or even a spoonful of relish for a tangy twist.
- Use High-Quality Bread: Sourdough, whole grain, or a soft brioche bun all make excellent choices for the sandwich.
