Instructions:
• Prepare the Egg Salad:
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, and green onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
• Assemble the Sandwich:
Place a lettuce leaf on a slice of bread, spoon a generous amount of the egg salad mixture over it, add tomato slices if desired, and top with another slice of bread. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional sandwiches.
• Serve:
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your classic egg salad sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or chips.
Variations and Tips:
• Add-Ins:
For extra flavor, consider adding diced pickles, a dash of curry powder, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the egg salad mixture.
• Bread Choices:
While traditional white or whole-grain bread works well, you can also serve the egg salad on croissants, bagels, or in lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
• Storage:
Store any leftover egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Stir before using, as some separation may occur.
