Egg Salad Sandwich

A favorite sandwich filling, egg salad is both simple and economical. I recommend that you make it with your homemade mayonnaise if you are going to eat it right away. Otherwise, use commercial mayonnaise, as it is made with pasteurized egg and will stay fresh longer.

Cooking Tips for Egg Salad Sandwich:

Use Fresh Eggs: For the best flavor, make sure your eggs are fresh. Fresh eggs will peel more easily after boiling, making your egg salad smoother.
Customize with Add-ins: You can get creative with your egg salad by adding ingredients like bacon, avocado, or pickles to enhance the flavor.
Don’t Over-Mash: Mash your eggs just enough to break them down. If you over-mash, the texture becomes too mushy and loses that nice chunkiness that makes egg salad so appealing.
Chill for Better Flavor: For the best results, chill your egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and gives the dish a more balanced taste.
Choose the Right Bread: A thick, crusty bread or soft, fluffy white bread makes the perfect base for your egg salad sandwich. Toast it slightly to add a bit of crunch.
Season Carefully: Always taste your egg salad before serving to ensure the seasoning is just right. A little extra salt, pepper, or mustard can elevate the flavor.
