Ingredients

For the Egg Salad

8 large eggs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 celery stalk, finely diced
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Sandwiches

8 slices soft white or whole wheat bread
Butter (optional)
Lettuce leaves (optional)
Tomato slices (optional)

Instructions

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, cover the pan, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes, then peel and chop them into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, celery, onion, chives, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Gently stir until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
If desired, lightly butter the bread slices.
Spread a generous amount of egg salad onto four slices of bread.
Add lettuce and tomato slices if using.
Top with the remaining bread slices and gently press together.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Tips

For extra flavor, add 1–2 teaspoons of sweet pickle relish.
A pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce adds a little heat.
Refrigerate the egg salad for 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
Store leftover egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Pair your Egg Salad Sandwich with potato chips, dill pickles, fresh fruit, pasta salad, or a bowl of tomato soup. It’s also delicious served on croissants, toasted bread, or wrapped in lettuce for a lighter option. This simple, creamy sandwich is a classic that never goes out of style!
