Ingredients:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice.
- 1 tbsp chopped chives (plus more for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread,
- toasted
- Butter or lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by hard-boiling the eggs. To do so, place the eggs in a pot, cover them with water, and bring the water to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9–12 minutes. Afterward, transfer.
- the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
- Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, making sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the chopped chives to the mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until the egg salad is well-seasoned and all the flavors are combined.
- Toast the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crisp. This will give the sandwich an extra crunch and help hold the filling in place.
- Once the bread is toasted, you can choose to spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice for added richness.
- Alternatively, if you prefer a lighter option, you can add a layer of fresh lettuce leaves instead.
- Now, take one slice of toasted bread and spread a generous amount of the egg salad mixture onto it. Top with the second slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
- For an added touch, sprinkle some extra chopped chives on top for a burst of color and a mild onion flavor. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
