Egg Salad Sandwich
An egg salad sandwich is filled with a satisfying combination of nutrient dense hard-boiled eggs, creamy mayo, crunchy celery, and fresh herbs. It is the best, easiest lunch idea and a great way to use up leftover eggs!
Ingredients
- 4 hard-boiled eggs diced
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tsp yellow mustard or dijon mustard
- 1 green onion or scallions
- ½ celery rib finely diced
- 1 tsp dill
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 4 bread slices
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the diced eggs, mayo, mustard, green onion, celery, dill, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Toast the bread slices until golden. Or, skip this step if you prefer a sandwich with softer bread.
- Spread half of the egg mixture onto one slice of bread, close the sandwich with the second slice of bread. Repeat to make the second sandwich.
Notes
Add-ins: Add finely chopped bell peppers, pickles, or olives to give the filling more flavor. Chopped cooked chicken or bacon will add extra protein.
Fancier sandwich: Make the egg salad sandwich into a BLT by adding bacon, lettuce, and tomato before topping the sandwich with the egg filling. Or, add microgreens for a nutrient dense sandwich.
Storage: Refrigerate the salad filling separately in an airtight container and assemble the sandwiches right before serving to prevent a soggy sandwich.
