EGG SALAD SANDWICHES 

The best Egg Salad Sandwiches that are made with simple ingredients and very customizable. When I think of these sandwiches I’m thinking spring, summer, picnics, tea parties, bridal and baby showers. All you need are hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, onions, celery, fresh dill/chives, and your favorite sandwich bread. I promise you will make these again and again!

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE SIMPLE INGREDIENTS 

EGGS: For hard boiled eggs, I bring the water to a boil then add the eggs and boil for about 10-12 minutes. Soon as the timer goes off, I drain the hot water and run cold water on the eggs, stopping the cooking. I find it easier to peel the eggs while hot. Then I cut the eggs in half separating the yolk from the white. I like to mash the yolks separately for a creamy texture. The whites I like to dice. You can definitely just mash them together. 

FRESH HERBS:

Adding some fresh herbs to the type of salad can really elevate the flavor. I used dill and chives, but some parsley would also be fine. 

MUSTARD: I like to use spicy brown mustard for a little intense flavor and country dijon mustard. You can use any mustard you have on hand. Just remember 1-2 tablespoons are usually needed. Add little, taste it and adjust.

BREAD:  I used croissants because that’s what my kids enjoy. But use whatever sandwich bread you have on hand or enjoy. Rolls, buns, brioche, sourdough are all delicious.

This salad is best served cold. Serve with salad greens like lettuce, watercress or arugula. You can also serve with crackers. These would also be great to make into mini sandwiches for any event.
