How to Make It
1. Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool, then peel.
2. Prepare the Egg Salad
Chop the boiled eggs into small chunks and place in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced celery, pickles, onion, and herbs. Mix until combined, then season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Chill for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3. Assemble the Sandwich
Toast your bread slices lightly for texture. Spread a bit of butter or add lettuce leaves to each slice to prevent sogginess. Spoon a generous amount of egg salad onto the bread, top with tomato or avocado if desired, and finish with another slice.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Cut sandwiches in half and serve with kettle chips, pickles, or a light side salad.
