Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients
This egg salad sandwich recipe is a simple and delicious way to spruce up your lunch. You will need six hard-boiled eggs, ¼ cup of mayonnaise, one tablespoon of Dijon mustard, one tablespoon of freshly-chopped dill, a pinch of sea salt, and a pinch of freshly-ground black pepper. You will also need four slices of your favorite sandwich bread, lettuce leaves, and tomato slices.
Instructions
The first step is to prepare the eggs. Place the eggs into a pot and fill it with water until all the eggs are covered. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the water to a boil. Allow the eggs to cook for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for an additional 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and allow them to cool. Once cooled, peel the shells off the eggs and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
Use a fork to mash the eggs. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, salt, and pepper to the eggs and mix until everything is combined.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread the egg salad over two slices of the bread. Place lettuce leaves and tomato slices on top of the egg salad. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the lettuce and tomato.
Enjoy your egg salad sandwich!
