How To Make Easy Egg Salad Sandwich From Scratch?

1. Stack bread slice- With a lettuce leaf and then egg salad.
2. Season it- With salt and pepper, if you like.
3. Close it- Place the other bread slice on top.
4. Serve immediately- Enjoy.

Classic Homemade Egg Sandwich Spread

1. Whisk- Together mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix in- Roughly chopped hard boiled eggs, celery, dill, and green onions.

Creamy Egg Salad Wrap

Serve this salad in your favorite wrap instead of on bread for a delicious take on this classic dish.

Sandwich Toppings

• Additional herbs- Fresh or dried
• Veggies- Such as lettuce, sprouts, pickles, sliced avocados, cucumbers or tomatoes.
• Spices- Such as a dash of curry powder or smoked paprika.
• Meat- Consider adding thin slices of deli meat, leftover shredded or cubed ham, roughly crumbled bacon

What To Serve With this?

• Serve this sandwich with a classic soup pairing such as the following: Roasted Red Pepper Soup or Tomato Basil Soup Recipe (One Pot).
• You can also add a green salad such as as an Easy Apple Salad (One Pot).
• Crispy baked/roasted sides would also make an excellent addition to this meal. Some of my favorites are: Crispy Zucchini Fries (One Pan) and Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries (One Pan).

Variations

• Make mini tea sandwiches- Cut large sandwiches into finger length slices or use small rye bread slices.
• Add other herbs- You can have fun with this and add in other herbs, such as Rosemary, Basil, Parsley, chives, or green onions.
• Add pickles- Chopping up pickles and tossing them into this will give a slight crunch and a nice tang. Use your favorite variety!
• Add relish- Add in some relish for a sweet, tangy addition.
• Deviled potato egg salad- Boil 5-6 potatoes, cut into small chunks, and add into the salad dressing recipe listed. Top with chopped or sliced eggs.
• Use spinach- Instead of lettuce in the sandwich.
• Serve on crackers- For a bite sized meal.
• Serve in a lettuce wrap- For a low carb, Keto friendly version.
• Curried egg salad- Add curry to the egg salad and give it a whole new flavor!

Tips And Techniques

• What bread to use? The classic choice is white. You can also use whole wheat, artisan bread, rye, or toasted bread.
• Can't stop for too long- As the bread will get soggy, especially if your egg mixture had a thinner consistency.
• Chunky egg mixture Vs. Smooth egg mixture- This is up to your personal preference. I personally like it chunky for added texture.
• Mayonnaise substitute in egg mixture- Use a mayonnaise substitute such as full fat thick Greek yogurt or sour cream. Even hummus, mashed chickpeas, or avocado will work, but the flavor will change based on your choice.
• Wash and pat dry lettuce- If it is not pre-washed, make sure to do so, and pat it dry so that the sandwich doesn't become soggy.
• Serve immediately- This ensure you get a sandwich that holds up well and doesn't become soggy.

Storage

• Refrigerate- This is best served immediately, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
• Freezer- Do not freeze, because dairy products and eggs change texture and cannot be reheated well.
