INGREDIENTS
For the Egg Salad:
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise (use Greek yogurt for a lighter twist)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice (adds freshness)
1 tbsp chopped chives (plus extra for garnish)
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Sandwich:
4 slices whole-grain, sourdough, or your favorite bread, toasted
Butter or lettuce leaves (optional but highly recommended)
DIRECTIONS
Step 1: Make the Perfect Egg Salad
In a medium mixing bowl, gently combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped chives. Stir until creamy and well combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 2: Toast & Prep the Bread
Lightly toast your bread slices until golden and crisp. If desired, butter one side of each slice for extra richness or line with fresh lettuce leaves for added crunch.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
Spoon a generous heap of creamy egg salad onto two slices of toasted bread. Spread it evenly, making sure every bite is loaded with flavor. Top with the remaining slices of bread to complete your sandwiches.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle extra chopped chives on top for a pop of color and freshness. Slice the sandwiches in half for easy eating and serve immediately!
