Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min

Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 large eggs; ½ cup mayonnaise; ¼ cup chopped green onion; 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard; ¼ teaspoon paprika; Salt and pepper to taste; 8 slices of bread (your choice: whole wheat, white, or sourdough); Lettuce leaves (optional); Tomato slices (optional); In a large mixing bowl, I add the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, and yellow mustard. Sprinkle in the paprika along with salt and pepper to taste. Then, I gently fold everything together until the mixture is creamy, well-combined, and evenly seasoned. The result is a perfectly balanced egg salad that’s rich, tangy, and full of flavor.; To make the sandwich, I start by laying out my bread slices. Spread a generous amount of egg salad on one slice, add optional lettuce and tomato slices if desired, and top with another slice of bread. Press gently to help the sandwich hold together without squishing the filling.

Craving a quick and satisfying meal? My Simple Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe is a perfect choice for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Creamy, flavorful, and easy to make, this egg salad is packed with protein and subtle hints of spice, making it a classic comfort food that never goes out of style. Whether you enjoy it on soft sandwich bread, a crisp croissant, or even wrapped in lettuce, this recipe is versatile enough to please everyone at the table.

I don’t recommend freezing egg salad, as the mayonnaise can separate and the texture can become watery upon thawing. Stick to refrigeration for the best results.
