Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (adjust for desired creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or chives, optional)
- 2 slices of bread (any kind you like, white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- Lettuce (optional, for crunch)
- Tomato slices (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for about 9-12 minutes. After cooking, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool down quickly.
Peel the eggs: Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them and chop them into small pieces.
Make the egg salad: In a bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well. Add any optional herbs for a bit of freshness.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread the egg salad mixture on a slice of bread. If you’re using lettuce or tomato, layer those on top before adding the second slice of bread.
Serve: Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy!
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding extra ingredients like pickles, onions, or even a dash of hot sauce for a kick!
