Creamy & Savory Classic Egg Salad Sandwich
Easy 5-Minute Recipe! The Ultimate Creamy Egg Salad Sandwich Everyone Loves
This recipe for a soft and delicious egg salad sandwich is perfect as a treat for your husband at work, a quick breakfast for kids, or a delightful brunch option. It’s a simple yet satisfying classic!
Key Ingredients
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1 tsp Mustard (adjust to taste)
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise (the secret to creaminess!)
- Generous amount of Jam (strawberry or your favorite)
- 1 slice of Cheese
- 2 slices of Soft Bread
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the star of our sandwich: the creamy egg salad. Place the eggs in a pot of water and boil them until hard-cooked, which usually takes about 10-12 minutes. Immediately transfer the boiled eggs to cold water to cool, then peel them. Once peeled, mash the eggs thoroughly using a fork or a masher. In a bowl, combine the mashed eggs with 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of mustard, mixing well. (Tip: For an even creamier texture, feel free to add a little more mayonnaise. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste for a richer flavor. This amount will yield enough filling for 1-2 sandwiches.)
Step 2
Next, prepare the bread. Lay out two slices of bread side-by-side. On one slice, spread a generous amount of your chosen jam, such as strawberry jam. The sweetness of the jam will create a wonderful harmony with the savory egg salad.
Step 3
On the other slice of bread (the one without jam), spoon a good portion of the prepared egg salad. Don’t be shy with the egg salad; piling it on generously ensures a satisfying bite. I like to make mine quite thick, but feel free to adjust the amount to your preference.
Step 4
Now, place a slice of cheese on top of the egg salad. The addition of cheese will elevate the sandwich’s flavor profile, adding a delightful richness as it melts slightly.
Step 5
Finally, assemble the sandwich. Carefully place the jam-spread slice of bread on top of the cheese-covered slice and press down gently. For a neater presentation and easier eating, you can trim off the crusts of the bread. Your delicious sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed! It’s great as is, or you can cut it in half.
