Egg Salad Sandwiches

Me: "Jason, what do you want for lunch?"
Husband: "Umm, you know, an egg salad sandwich sounds pretty good."
Me: "...."

Yep, it's a first.  I have never made an egg salad sandwich.  Last week when I was in Bellevue, I had two bites of one and couldn't finish it.  It was riddled with overpowering onions and way too much mayo. Growing up we never ate them, so I really had nothing to go off of...

Me: "Umm, what is in an egg salad sandwich exactly?"
Husband: "Mayo, mustard, and eggs."
Me: "Oh..."

So I took off to the kitchen to try my hand at this feat.  I boiled 6 eggs until the yolks were hard and combined them with mustard and mayo.  It was missing something, or rather a lot of things.  It was just TOO plain..  So I fancied it up a bit...or rather a lot...


Egg Salad Sandwiches

Ingredients:

  • 6 hard boiled eggs
  • 1 cup Mayonaise
  • teaspoon of dill weed
  • teaspoon of garlic salt
  • fresh ground pepper (to your liking)
  • handful of dried onion flakes (approx. 1/8 cup)
  • small squirt (about 1 tablespoon) yellow mustard
  • Wheat bread
Directions:
  1. In a bowl, gently mix all ingredients, then apply to bread.

Very difficult recipe...I know.  This recipe yields about 4-5 sandwiches, depending on how much egg salad you want on your bread.

Glad it's only taken me 27 years to accomplish this great task...
