Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 2 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Mixed greens
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely chop the chives and set aside.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Peel and roughly chop the eggs once cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the dressing.
Gently fold the chopped eggs into the dressing until well coated.
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown. Spread a thin layer of butter over the warm toast.
Place a layer of mixed greens on each slice of toast, then evenly divide the egg salad over the greens.
Garnish the egg salad with the chopped chives.
Serve each slice open-faced with a knife and fork. Enjoy immediately!
