Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, finely chopped)
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 2 leaves Lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the eggs cook for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and place them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to roughly mash the eggs into small pieces.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped chives (if using) to the bowl. Mix everything until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Toast the bread slices, if desired. Spread the egg salad evenly over two slices of bread.
Add a lettuce leaf on top of the egg salad for extra texture and flavor (optional). Place the remaining slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your simple and delicious egg salad sandwich!
