Egg salad sandwiches are perfect for lunch or dinner. Thankfully, making the egg salad sandwich is a fairly easy and straightforward process. The most complicated part of the process is boiling the eggs and then peeling them. To make the perfect egg salad sandwich, you need to start with the perfect hard boiled eggs. Once you have your peeled eggs, most of the other ingredients are added to your taste. I will give you some guidelines to follow.
What you will need:
Eggs, 6 or more
Pot
Water
Salt
Mixing bowl
Butter-knife
Fork
Spoon
Dill pickles
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Place your eggs into a large pot. The pot needs to be large enough to place all of the eggs along the bottom of the pot. Add water to the pot until it completely covers the eggs and add a tablespoon of salt. Place the pot onto your stove and set it to high.
Bring the pot of water and eggs to a boil and allow it to boil for 10 minutes. Once 10 minutes has passed, promptly remove the pot from heat and cool the eggs using cold tap water. Continue to cool the eggs using running tap water, peeling one at a time by first tapping the shell in several places with the back of a butter-knife. Place the peeled eggs into your mixing bowl.
Smash the eggs using your fork into the mixing bowl. Make sure the eggs are broken up into most of the white pieces are no longer large chunks. Pull a tablespoon of mayonnaise from the mayonnaise jar and drop the mayonnaise into the mixing bowl. Smash it into the mix with the eggs. Pour a small amount of pickle juice into the mixing bowl, along with a large squirt of mustard. Continue mixing until all of the ingredients are combined.
Look at the texture of the egg salad and taste test it. If it is a little bitter, add some more mayonnaise. If it is still too sweet add a little mustard. If it is too thick, add some pickle juice. At this point you are ready to add other favorite ingredients such as cut up pickles or chopped onion.
Spread the egg salad in between two slices of your favorite bread. Place a couple of pickles or some potato chips on the side and enjoy.
