Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
- 8 slices Bread slices or rolls
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover with cold water about an inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it begins to boil, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water, letting them cool for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces. Place the chopped eggs into a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the egg salad is creamy.
Fold in the finely chopped celery and fresh chives, distributing them evenly for added texture and flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
Lay out the bread slices or rolls. Place a lettuce leaf (if using) on half of the slices, then divide the egg salad evenly among them.
Top with the remaining bread slices to complete the sandwiches, pressing gently.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a few hours before serving. Slice the sandwiches in half if desired and enjoy!
