Treat your ingredients with care...
- Eggs — Make sure to boil the eggs until they are fully cooked but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs can result in a rubbery texture.
- Fresh herbs — Use fresh chives and parsley for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can substitute with dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra creaminess, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the egg salad mixture.
- To add a bit of crunch, consider adding finely chopped celery or pickles to the egg salad.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as whole wheat, rye, or sourdough, to add variety to your sandwich.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, use spicy mustard instead of Dijon mustard.
- To make it a more substantial meal, you can add lettuce, tomato slices, or bacon to the sandwich.
Serving advice
Serve the Classic Egg Salad Sandwich chilled for the best experience. It pairs well with a side of potato chips or a crisp green salad.
Presentation advice
To make the sandwich visually appealing, cut it into triangles or squares and arrange them neatly on a plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an added touch of freshness.
