    This is my husband's favorite work sandwich, if he needs a lot of energy for a long day, it's packed with protein to keep you feeling full throughout the day. It's a classic sandwich, but sometimes you wonder what to serve with egg salad sandwiches.

    Well, that's what's on the agenda today. I have some great recipes here that will make your egg salad sandwich even better!

    What's in egg salad sandwiches?

    Eggs are the main component of this dish, whether it's medium, large, brown, or white. The preference is totally your call. You can even use duck eggs. They just have to be hard-boiled. Then they're grated or chopped.

    If you're looking for the best egg salad recipe, including the best method for hard boiling eggs, look no further. I hope you'll take a moment to check it out.

    Mayonnaise is the binding agent to glue all the ingredients together. Greek yogurt is a less rich mild-in-taste substitute, with both textures being similar.

    Just a pinch of yellow mustard is the perfect touch to any egg salad sandwich., this ensures a good balance of flavors, so it's not overly sweet.

    Seasoning such as salt and pepper are always added in the process, Depending on your crowd, this can be tweaked. It's best to taste test.

    The bread in this sandwich can range from sourdough, regular toasted sandwich bread, or French baguette. You want the crunch from the bread to contrast with the smooth egg salad filling.

    What is Egg Salad?

    It's a dish combining eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, and bread. Served alone or with fries, chicken tenders, or coleslaw. It's a great meal for breakfast, or anytime.

    How do you make an egg salad sandwich?

    The first step to making a perfect egg sandwich is boiling the eggs. Mash the eggs with a fork and if need be, you can use a potato masher. Stir in salt and pepper. Add mayo, and butter the bread. Spread the filling from edge to edge on the bread.

    That's all there is to it!

    How to Make Egg Salad Even Better

    While there are many delicious additions to egg salad sandwiches, celery, onion, lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, parsley, dill, and my husband's favorite chopped bacon are all some of the most common additions to egg salad. We even add tuna, yes tuna, and it's always a crowd pleaser.

    You can even keep it simple and make deviled eggs which are simply hard boiled eggs halved with mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and a few other ingredients if you choose. Add to all your yolks and put back inside each egg half. So tasty!

    Is egg salad healthy?

    When prepared in the traditional way, egg salad is not very healthy at all. It's packed with protein, but it's also packed with fat from mayonnaise - the unhealthy kind.

    However, you can make egg salad healthy by making it with olive oil mayonnaise. Olive oil is a healthy fat, and when used in egg salad, it makes the entire dish a tasty protein and healthy fat bomb.

    What drinks pair well with egg salad sandwiches?

    Don't know what to put in a glass beside an egg salad sandwich? Some options are iced coffee, juice, or maybe milk. A glass of water is a great throat quencher.

    • Black Coffee
    • Sparkling lemonade
    • Soda
    • Tea
