Ingredients:
For the Egg Salad:

For the Sandwich:
- 8 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or croissants)
- 4 lettuce leaves (optional, for crunch)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Eggs:
Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let them sit for 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for easy peeling. Once cooled, chop them into small pieces.

3. Assemble the Sandwich:

4. Serve and Enjoy:
Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately, or refrigerate for later.
