Ingredients:

• 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
• ¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 8 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or baguette)

Instructions:

Preparing the Egg Salad:

1. Boil the Eggs: If you haven’t already boiled the eggs, place them in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
2. Chop the Eggs: Once cooled, finely chop the eggs and place them in a mixing bowl.
3. Mix the Dressing: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
4. Add Green Onions: Fold in the chopped green onions for a fresh, slightly sharp flavor.

Assembling the Sandwich:

5. Prepare the Bread: Toast the bread slices if desired for extra crunch.
6. Layer the Lettuce: Place a lettuce leaf on each slice of bread to prevent sogginess.
7. Spread the Egg Salad: Spoon the egg salad mixture evenly onto four slices of bread.
8. Top and Serve: Place the remaining bread slices on top, press gently, and cut the sandwiches in half.

Tips for the Best Egg Salad Sandwich:

• Use fresh eggs for easier peeling.

• Make it creamy by adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
• Pair with sides like potato chips, coleslaw, or a fresh fruit salad.
