Step-by-Step Method – Sarah’s Golden Steps

Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs

I’m Sarah , and I’ve learned that perfectly boiled eggs are the foundation of great egg salad.

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let them sit for 10-12 minutes.

Sarah’s Tip: For perfectly boiled eggs, place them in an ice bath immediately after cooking to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.

Peel the eggs and set them aside to cool.

Step 2: Chop the Eggs

I’m Sarah , and this is where the texture comes together!

Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. You can use a knife, an egg slicer, or a fork to mash them to your desired consistency.

Sarah’s Tip: For a chunkier egg salad, chop the eggs roughly. For a smoother texture, mash them with a fork.

Step 3: Make the Egg Salad

I’m Sarah , and this is where the creamy magic happens!

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, dill (or parsley), celery (if using), and red onion (if using). Mix gently until well combined.

Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice (if using).

Sarah’s Tip: Taste the egg salad and adjust the seasoning to your preference. Want it creamier? Add more mayo. Want it tangier? Add more mustard.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

I’m Sarah , and this is the moment it all comes together!

Toast the bread if desired (optional, but highly recommended).

Sarah’s Tip: Toasting the bread prevents it from getting soggy and adds a lovely texture.

Spread a generous amount of egg salad onto one slice of bread. Top with lettuce and tomato slices (if using). Cover with the second slice of bread.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

I’m Sarah , and this is the moment everyone has been waiting for!

Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
