- 2 stalks celery
- 2 pieces green onions

Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the water comes to a boil, remove the saucepan from heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs once cooled.
Step 4
Chop the peeled eggs into small pieces and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Step 5
Finely chop the celery and green onions, then add them to the bowl with the eggs.
Step 6
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir everything together until the ingredients are well combined.
Step 7
Taste the egg salad and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
To assemble the sandwiches, place a scoop of egg salad onto a slice of bread, spread it evenly, top with a lettuce leaf, and cover with another slice of bread. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches.
Step 9
Serve immediately or chill the egg salad in the refrigerator before assembling the sandwiches for a cooler option.
