Equipment
- Saucepan
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or Fork
- knife
- Cutting board
- Toaster
- Cling Film or Wax Paper
Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the hard-boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool and halt the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, celery, and green onions. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Adjust the seasoning and other ingredients as desired to suit your preferences.
- Toast the slices of bread if desired. This step adds a nice crunch and texture to the sandwich but can be skipped if you prefer untoasted bread.
- Spread a generous amount of the egg salad mixture on one side of each bread slice. Add any optional toppings such as lettuce leaves or tomato slices for extra freshness and flavor. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.
- Cut the sandwiches diagonally or into halves, as per your preference. Serve immediately or wrap them tightly in cling film or wax paper for later consumption.
