US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, dijon, chives, dill, salt, and pepper. Tip: I love using this egg slicer to make chopping the eggs a lot faster.
  • Then use a spoon to mix everything together.
    Steps to make Egg Sandwich: combine the chopped eggs, mayo, Dijon mustard, dill, chives, salt, and pepper in a bowl with a fork.
  • Now spread a little bit of softened butter on each (inside part) of the bread and add split the egg salad mixture on to 2 slices of bread.
  • Then top the other 2 buttered pieces of bread and enjoy.
    Steps to make Egg Sandwich: butter the sandwich bread and then add egg salad to one slice before topping with the other slice.

Notes

  • Don't overboil the eggs- Be careful of overcooking the eggs, which can make them chalky rather than creamy. Don't boil them for more than 10 minutes.
  • Chop the eggs into small pieces- I like to use an egg slicer for this because it chops them more quickly and evenly than doing it by hand.
  • Use fresh herbs- Fresh herbs have better flavor than their dried counterparts, as well as adding nice texture. Use fresh if you can.
  • Soften the butter- If you're using soft sandwich bread, softened butter will spread more easily and evenly, as well as avoid tearing the bread as cold butter would.
