Instructions
1. Boil the Eggs
- Begin by boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for about 10-12 minutes.
- Afterward, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Make the Egg Salad
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs with mayo, mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill.
- Add the green onions (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until smooth and creamy.
3. Toast the Bread
- If you like a little crunch in your sandwich, toast the bread in a toaster or on a skillet with a thin layer of butter or mayo for a rich golden-brown finish.
- You can also keep it soft if you prefer, but the toasted bread adds a nice texture contrast to the creamy filling.
4. Assemble the Sandwich
- Once the bread is toasted (if you’re toasting it), generously spread the egg salad mixture on one slice of bread.
- Top with the other slice of bread, cut the sandwich into halves (or quarters, if serving for a party), and serve!
Tips & Variations
🔸 Add Texture – For a crunchier texture, try adding chopped celery, pickles, or radishes to the egg salad.
🔸 Make It Spicy – A dash of hot sauce, or a few slices of jalapeños can give the sandwich an extra kick.
🔸 Use Fresh Herbs – Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like chives, tarragon, or basil for a unique twist on the flavor.
🔸 Low-Carb Option – Serve the egg salad on lettuce wraps or cucumber slices instead of bread for a lighter, low-carb version.
🔸 Grilled Option – Grill the sandwich for a crispy, melty twist, just like a grilled cheese, for added warmth and flavor.
