That looks like a classic creamy egg salad sandwich 🥪 Here’s a full, detailed recipe so you can recreate it
Classic Creamy Egg Salad Sandwich
🥚 Ingredients (Makes 4 sandwiches)
For the Egg Salad:
8 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise (use good quality for best flavor)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional but recommended)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions or chives
1–2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: pinch of paprika
For the Sandwich:
8 slices soft sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
Softened butter (optional, for spreading)
Extra dill for garnish (optional)
🔥 Step 1: Cook the Eggs Perfectly
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water (about 1 inch above eggs).
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath for 5–10 minutes.
Peel and pat dry.
🔪 Step 2: Chop the Eggs
Roughly chop eggs for a chunkier texture
OR
Mash lightly with a fork for a creamier spread
Tip: Don’t over-mash — the sandwich in the photo has visible egg chunks.
🥣 Step 3: Make the Egg Salad
In a bowl combine:
Chopped eggs
Mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
Lemon juice
Celery
Green onions
Dill
Salt & pepper
Gently fold everything together until creamy but still textured.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
🍞 Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich
Lightly butter bread (optional but adds flavor).
Spoon a generous amount of egg salad onto one slice.
Spread evenly to the edges.
Top with another slice of bread.
Slice in half (diagonal looks best!).
Sprinkle a little paprika or extra dill on top for presentation.
❄️ Storage
Store egg salad in airtight container in fridge.
Best eaten within 3 days.
Do not freeze.
🧑🍳 Pro Tips for Extra Creamy Texture
Use room temperature eggs when mixing.
Add 1 tablespoon sour cream for extra richness.
For ultra-smooth: mash 1 yolk separately and mix into mayo first.
If you’d like, I can also give you:
A healthy/light version
A Southern-style version
A gourmet café-style version
Or a version without mayo 😊
