Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon green onion (finely chopped)
- 4 pieces bread slices (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
- 2 teaspoons butter (optional, softened for bread)
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves (optional, for layering)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water until there is about 1 inch of water above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs once cooled.
Using a fork or knife, roughly chop or mash the peeled eggs in a medium mixing bowl, depending on your preferred texture.
Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, dill pickle relish, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Mix until well combined.
Stir the finely chopped green onion into the egg mixture for added freshness and flavor.
Optional: Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread for extra richness.
To assemble, place a generous portion of egg salad onto two slices of bread. Add a lettuce leaf on top if desired, then cover with the remaining slices of bread.
Slice each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy!
