Ingredients:
– 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
– 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Bread slices, for serving
– Lettuce leaves, tomato slices, or other toppings of your choice
Instructions:
**1. Prepare the Eggs:**
– Start by boiling the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
– After the eggs are done cooking, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool down quickly. Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
**2. Make the Egg Salad:**
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), Dijon mustard, chopped celery, chopped red onion, and chopped parsley (if using). Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
– Season the egg salad with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings according to your preference.
**3. Assemble the Sandwiches:**
– To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous spoonful of the egg salad onto one slice of bread. Spread it evenly with a knife.
– Add lettuce leaves, tomato slices, or any other toppings you like on top of the egg salad.
– Place another slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
**4. Serve and Enjoy:**
– Serve the egg salad sandwiches immediately, or wrap them in plastic wrap or parchment paper to take them on the go.
– Enjoy the sandwiches as a delicious lunch or snack, paired with your favorite side dishes or enjoyed on their own.
Tips:
– For extra flavor, consider adding chopped pickles, green onions, or fresh herbs such as dill or chives to the egg salad.
– You can also customize the texture of the egg salad by adjusting the amount of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt. Add more for a creamier consistency, or less for a lighter salad.
– Make sure to thoroughly chill the hard-boiled eggs before peeling them, as this will make the peeling process easier.
– Egg salad sandwiches can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Just be sure to keep them well-wrapped to prevent them from drying out.
With its creamy texture and delicious flavor, this egg salad is perfect for making satisfying sandwiches that are sure to please everyone. Whether enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack, these egg salad sandwiches are a timeless favorite that will never go out of style.
