INGREDIENTS
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional but recommended)
- 1 tbsp finely chopped green onion or chives
- 1 tbsp finely chopped celery (for crunch)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices bread (or sandwich buns)
- Lettuce leaves (optional)
- A pinch of paprika (optional topping)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Boil eggs for 10–12 minutes until fully cooked, then cool in ice water.
- Peel and chop eggs into small chunks (or mash lightly for creamy texture).
- In a bowl, mix eggs with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
- Add green onions, celery, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently.
- Toast bread lightly if you prefer a crunchy sandwich.
- Layer lettuce on bread, then spread the egg salad generously.
- Close the sandwich, slice, and serve fresh.
- Sprinkle paprika on top for extra flavor and color (optional).
TIPS
- Don’t overcook eggs or they’ll turn rubbery and dry.
- Chill egg salad for 15–20 minutes before serving for better flavor.
- Add a few drops of lemon juice for a fresh, tangy kick.
- For extra richness, mix in a little cream cheese or yogurt.
- Best eaten fresh, but can be stored in fridge for up to 2 days.
