Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or regular mustard if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough recommended)
- Lettuce leaves (optional, for added crunch)
Equipment Needed
- Medium saucepan (for boiling eggs)
- Mixing bowl
- Fork or potato masher
- Measuring spoons
- Knife and cutting board
- Spatula (for spreading)
Instructions
Step 1: Boil the Eggs
Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled perfection. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for easier peeling.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Salad
Peel the eggs, then mash them with a fork or a potato masher in a mixing bowl until you reach your desired consistency (some prefer chunks, while others like a finer texture). Add in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chives (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
Spread a generous portion of egg salad onto a slice of bread, then top with lettuce if desired. Place another slice of bread on top, gently press down, and cut in half for easy serving. Enjoy!
