Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks celery
- 2 pieces green onions
- 8 slices bread
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water comes to a boil, remove the saucepan from heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs once cooled.
Chop the peeled eggs into small pieces and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery and green onions, then add them to the bowl with the eggs.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir everything together until the ingredients are well combined.
Taste the egg salad and adjust seasoning if needed.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a scoop of egg salad onto a slice of bread, spread it evenly, top with a lettuce leaf, and cover with another slice of bread. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches.
Serve immediately or chill the egg salad in the refrigerator before assembling the sandwiches for a cooler option.
