Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices whole grain or white bread

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat. Cover the pot and let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Cool them in ice water, peel, and roughly chop.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in Dijon mustard for a subtle tang.
  3. Add Freshness and Flavors: Fold in finely chopped celery and green onions. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Gently mix in the chopped eggs to coat them well while keeping chunks visible.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the egg salad filling generously over your choice of bread slices. Optionally, add lettuce or tomato slices. Top with the second slice of bread.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the sandwich in half for easier handling and serve immediately, or wrap it up for a meal on the go.

Notes

  • Use older eggs for easier peeling and cool them quickly to stop cooking.
  • Let cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Chop eggs to preferred size: chunkier for more bite, finer for creamier texture.
  • Add salt and pepper gradually, tasting as you go for perfect seasoning.
  • Refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes before serving to blend flavors and firm texture.
