🛒 INGREDIENTS
For the Egg Salad
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise (adjust for creaminess)
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for a tangy kick)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp finely chopped celery (for crunch)
1 tbsp chopped green onion or chives
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of paprika for garnish
For Serving
4 slices of your favorite bread (white, whole grain, or sourdough)
Lettuce or baby spinach (optional)
Tomato slices (optional)
🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the Eggs
Hard boil eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, then simmer 9–12 minutes.
Cool in ice water for 5 minutes, peel, and chop roughly.
2. Make the Egg Salad
In a medium bowl, combine chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, celery, and green onions.
Mix gently until creamy but slightly chunky.
Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. Assemble the Sandwich
Toast bread lightly if desired.
Layer lettuce or spinach on the bread (optional).
Spoon egg salad onto one slice and top with the other.
Cut in half and serve immediately.
🥄 METHODS (CHEF TECHNIQUES)
⭐ Creaminess Method
Adjust mayonnaise for desired creaminess — more for rich and indulgent, less for a lighter version.
⭐ Chunky vs Smooth Method
Mash some of the eggs and leave others chopped for texture contrast.
⭐ Flavor Boost Method
Add Dijon mustard, a splash of pickle juice, or a dash of smoked paprika for depth.
⭐ Serving Method
Serve chilled for picnics or slightly warmed for comfort on a cold morning.
