Sandwiched between soft slices of bread and optionally layered with crisp lettuce, this timeless favorite is ready in just 25 minutes and makes four satisfying servings. Ideal for picnics, meal prepping, or a no-fuss weekday meal, these egg salad sandwiches are a delicious and wholesome crowd-pleaser.
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. This makes peeling them easier.
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces. Place the chopped eggs into a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice the celery and slice the green onions. Add both to the bowl with the chopped eggs.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth. Pour the dressing over the chopped egg mixture.
Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Lay out 8 slices of bread. Spread a generous amount of the egg salad onto 4 slices. Optionally, top the egg salad with lettuce leaves for added texture.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top to form sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.
Enjoy your homemade Egg Salad Sandwiches!
