Scale
6 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp finely chopped red onion (optional)
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices sandwich bread or 2 sandwich rolls
Leaf lettuce (optional)
Instructions
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
Drain and transfer eggs to an ice bath. Peel once cool and chop into small pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix chopped eggs with mayonnaise, mustard, red onion (if using), herbs, salt, and pepper.
Spread egg salad on bread slices or rolls. Add lettuce if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter option.
Add a dash of paprika or a pickle relish for extra flavor.
Great as a make-ahead lunch—store in fridge for up to 3 days.
