Nice and easy, yet mind-blowing.

Making the Egg Salad

(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)

Ingredients You Will Need

  • Mayonnaise
  • Greek yogurt
  • Dijon mustard
  • Pickle relish
  • Granulated sugar
  • Chives
  • Eggs
  • Lettuce
  • Bread
  • Tomato
  • Bacon

How to Cook Eggs

Making hard-boiled eggs is very simple and you can even cook them up days in advance for easy assembly later.

My preferred way to make perfect hard-boiled eggs is to cover eggs with a few inches of water + a pinch of kosher salt, bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover pan, and allow to sit offheat for 12 minutes. Then immediately plunge eggs in ice water to stop the cooking process and allow to sit in ice water 20 minutes.

My biggest tips for making eggs that peel easily are to follow my cooking techniques above (especially letting the eggs soak in ice water) and to run eggs under water during peeling. I’ve also found that using older eggs tends to help the shell come off easier (1-2 weeks old is optimal).

Tips for Perfect Egg Salad

  1. Add a pinch of sugar to the dressing – this small addition of sugar makes a big difference flavor-wise.
  2. Use fresh chives – this adds a lovely little herby pop to the egg salad.
  3. Season tomatoes – season the tomato slices well with salt and pepper to taste for extra flavor.
  4. Assemble just before serving – for best results, cook the bacon, toast the buns, and assemble the sandwiches just before serving so all the ingredients stay fresh.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on this egg salad.

  • Add more ingredients to egg salad – try adding a handful of minced celery, green onions, or sweet peppers.
  • Use another bread – I use ciabatta rolls but any kind of bread works including white, whole wheat, Italian, or French bread.

    This looks like the ultimate BLT, Sarah! Love that you added egg salad in! I always forget about making BLTs, yet everytime I do, I wonder why I don’t have them more often. And Wednesdays definitely call for EXTRA bacon, love it!

    I absolutely adore new flavour switch-ups for classic sandwiches. Sometimes, only a sandwich will hit the spot for lunch and this looks totally satisfying! Love the lunch roundup too. Mmm.

    I could just tell that that bread was delicious homemade bread as soon as I looked at it! Unfortunately I eat gluten free bread and each slice is like the size of a penny. Yet another reason why I need to start making my own! I haven’t eaten egg salad in sooo long, but you are reminding me why I love it so much and really how could anything be bad with bacon on it?!!

    These sammies are amazing! I am loving the looks of that bacon!!! And when I reach for bread, I usually go for rye or dill bread. Two of my favorites. But I’m a huge homemade bread fan too – so I know that can make or break a sandwich!! These look so yum!
