A quick and easy creamy egg salad sandwich featuring fresh herbs like chives, dill, and parsley, perfect for lunches, picnics, and potlucks. This recipe balances creamy mayo, tender eggs, and bright herbal notes for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chives, dill, parsley), finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices sandwich bread (whole wheat, brioche, or gluten-free)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes for perfectly cooked yolks.
  2. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let chill for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap and peel each egg under running water.
  3. Roughly chop the peeled eggs and transfer to a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher to preferred texture.
  4. Stir in 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice until combined.
  5. Fold in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, 1/4 cup finely diced celery, and 2 tablespoons sliced green onion if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Toast 8 slices of bread lightly (optional). Spoon generous portions of egg salad onto half the bread slices, then top with remaining slices to form sandwiches.
  7. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately or wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Notes

If egg salad is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or water to loosen. If too runny, add more mayo or chopped boiled egg whites. Older eggs peel easier. Add baking soda to boiling water to help peeling. Fresh herbs should be added last to retain flavor. Store egg salad in airtight container up to 2 days. Flavors improve overnight.
