Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Bread of choice (soft sandwich bread, whole grain, or bagels)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Boil eggs for about 10 minutes until fully cooked. Cool them in ice water, peel, and chop into medium-sized pieces for the right texture.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a bowl, blend softened cream cheese with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped eggs, diced celery, and chopped chives or green onions to the creamy base. Stir gently to combine while keeping some chunkiness.
  4. Season to Taste: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper into the mixture and stir again. Adjust seasoning as preferred for balanced flavor.
  5. Assemble Your Sandwich: Spread the egg salad generously on your preferred bread or wrap. Optionally add fresh lettuce or tomato slices, then top with the second slice of bread or wrap tightly.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for easier peeling and better flavor.
  • Let cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing for smoother texture.
  • Chop eggs to your preferred size to control texture.
  • Refrigerate the egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
  • Lightly toast bread to add crunch that complements the creamy filling.
