Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk (finely chopped) celery
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons (softened) unsalted butter
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, cover the saucepan with a lid, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool down. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then peel the shells off the eggs.
Chop the peeled eggs into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, chives, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This helps prevent the bread from getting soggy.
Evenly divide the egg salad mixture onto 4 slices of bread (on the buttered side), and then top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, buttered side down.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts from the sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 4 small rectangles or triangles to create finger-sized portions.
Serve immediately, or cover the sandwiches with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
