Chef’s Tips for a Standout Egg Salad Sandwich:
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise based on how much you want to hide the blandness of your life.
- Experiment with additional herbs or spices if you’re tired of just pretending to be a chef.
- Fresh bread is ideal, but if your pantry is a tomb for stale loaves, go with what you’ve got and act like it’s a culinary choice.
Egg Salad Sandwiches for the Uninspired Gourmet
Rated 5.0 stars by 2 users
Dive into the world of gourmet egg salad sandwiches with our cheekily sophisticated recipe designed for those who prefer their culinary creations with a side of sarcasm. This isn't your average egg salad—oh no, this is a masterpiece of culinary audacity. We’re talking about a luscious blend of perfectly boiled eggs mixed with a lavish amount of creamy mayonnaise, a hint of Dijon mustard to showcase your inner gourmet, and fresh chives and dill to give it that "I’ve got my life together" flair.
Layered between artisanal slices of sourdough bread, with baby spinach and trendy avocado slices for added pizzazz, these sandwiches are sure to impress anyone who appreciates the finer things in life—or at least those who are too polite to comment on your cooking. Serve them up diagonally to achieve peak culinary sophistication and enjoy a sandwich that’s as delightfully irreverent as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs (Because clearly, your fridge is in need of more protein-packed orbs)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill (Optional, but it sounds impressive)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (Because regular salt just isn’t fancy enough)
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper (You’re not a savage; you’re gourmet)
4 slices sourdough bread
Baby spinach leaves
Avocado slices
Directions
- Boil the Eggs: Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water, because starting cold is the new hot. Bring it to a rolling boil, then simmer for exactly 10 minutes—yes, it’s precise. Plunge the eggs into an ice bath to chill out, peel them, and chop like you’ve got something to prove.
- Craft the Salad: In a bowl (please don’t use a plastic container), mix the chopped eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chives, and dill if you’re feeling extra fancy. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper, because you’re too refined for table salt and pre-ground pepper. Stir until it looks vaguely like something a chef might prepare.
- Construct the Sandwich: Spread the egg salad generously over 2 slices of sourdough bread. Add a layer of baby spinach and avocado slices if you’re aiming to impress or if you’ve got some avocado that’s dangerously close to overripeness. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
- Presentation Is Everything: Cut the sandwiches diagonally because that’s how you know it’s gourmet. Serve immediately to anyone who appreciates the fine art of egg salad or anyone who’s too polite to say otherwise.
