Sometimes the simplest recipes are the very best! There is nothing more comforting than a perfectly seasoned, creamy egg salad piled high on toasted bread.Whether it’s for a quick lunch or a weekend picnic, this recipe is a total classic. The secret? A little bit of crunch and a hint of fresh herbs! 🌱✨🛒 INGREDIENTSThe Stars:8 Large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled1/2 cup Mayonnaise (adjust for your preferred creaminess!)1 tbsp Yellow or Dijon mustard1/2 cup Celery, very finely diced (for that essential crunch!)2 tbsp Fresh chives or green onions, minced1 tsp Fresh dill (optional, but adds a beautiful brightness!)The Seasoning:1/2 tsp Paprika (plus a pinch for garnish)1/4 tsp Salt & Black pepper to tasteA squeeze of fresh lemon juice 🍋For Serving:Slices of toasted sourdough, brioche, or buttery croissantsCrisp lettuce leaves 🥬👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS1️⃣ The Perfect Chop: Don’t mash the eggs into a paste! Coarsely chop your hard-boiled eggs so you still have nice chunks of white and yolk. This gives the sandwich much better texture. 2️⃣ The Dressing: In a small bowl, stir together the mayo, mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. 3️⃣ Fold it In: Add the chopped eggs, celery, and fresh herbs to a bowl. Pour the dressing over and gently fold everything together until coated. 4️⃣The Assembly: Toast your bread until golden. Lay down a piece of crisp lettuce (this acts as a “shield” to keep the bread from getting soggy!), pile on a generous scoop of egg salad, and top with the second slice of bread.💡 PRO TIPS:Easy Peel Eggs: For the best hard-boiled eggs, add them to boiling water for 12 minutes, then immediately plunge them into an ice bath. They’ll peel like a dream! 🧊Make it Spicy: Love a little kick? Add a dash of hot sauce or a few chopped jalapeños to the mix.
