Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 stalk (chopped) Celery
- 2 tablespoons (finely diced) Red onion
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Bread (your choice)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting bread)
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring there's at least an inch of water above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Prepare a bowl of ice water. After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice water to cool for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped celery, diced red onion, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
Gently fold the mixture together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Optionally, toast the slices of bread with a little butter in a skillet or toaster until golden brown.
Lay a lettuce leaf on four slices of bread, then evenly divide the egg salad mixture over the lettuce.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, slice the sandwiches in half (diagonally for flair!), and serve.
