No more cookies, please.
I only want to eat sandwiches and garlic until I stink.
Wait… that’s weird.
While I do have a serious aversion to baked goods this week… I still seem to be eating Nutellaย from the jar.
It’s complicated.
Can I tell you the secret to super delicious Egg Salad?
Fresh herbs and lemon. ย Yes! ย The brightness of herbs and lemon really balance out creamy eggs and mayo. ย Whole grain mustard is always a good idea too.
If I had little pickle bits to add to the salad… this would be one of my favorite things ever.
Egg Salad Sandwiches
makes 4 sandwiches
8 hard boiled eggs, peeled and cut in half
heaping 1/4 cup mayonnaise
heaping teaspoon whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon finely chopped tarragon
2 teaspoons chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely diced shallots
2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
bread
Making egg salad is super easy. ย Once the eggs are hard boiled and peeled, and the herbs and shallots are chopped, dump everything into a medium bowl. ย Use a fork to break up the egg whites and yolks and incorporate all of the ingredients. ย Add more mayonnaise if you’d like it more creamy. ย Add salt and pepper to taste. ย Spoon onto good bread and enjoy. ย Store egg salad in the fridge for up to 4 days.

I love egg salad and can’t wait to try it. I am salivating.
I eat stone ground whole grain mustard from the crock.
Just made this tonight. It’s wonderful. I really like the shallot. Mine came out pretty fluffy, as I smashed and mixed the eggs in a lot. Thanks so much!
Joy, although I didn’t have any herbs avaliable I made a simple egg salad with smoked paprika and ground mustard….I was feelin’ fancy so I made finger sandwiches ;) Thanks for the recipe!
Made this today for lunch. Just finished eating it. Loved it! I did not put any mustard since I had none, but it was still super yummy nonetheless, even my two year old little monster ate it all up :) Thanks for sharing Joy.
The eggs are boiling, and I’m tasting this in my mind as I speak. Going to pick a hearty grain bread for these little jewels. Thanks for reminding us that fresh spices and lemon can make almost anything taste so yummy!
Yummy! Will soon need to prepare this and share with my coworkers.
Sounds wonderful…already printed! (Instead of using a fork to break up the eggs, I use a pastry blender…works really well!)
I love this recipe! I’m obsessed with Egg Salad Sandwiches and have been since I was little. This is the perfect recipe to spruce up one of my favorite things to eat!
I love your blog!
p.s. I eat Nutella out of the jar too :)
I eat Nutella out of the jar, but, I dip Ritz crackers … :)
This recipe is so great! I always thought egg salad was a thing of lunch boxes and trading with your buddy for ham and mayo, but this changed everything! Shallots are delightful. Fresh herbs and lemon are heaven. I’ve got my family hooked and this recipe will become a staple in our home. Thanks!
When I was about twelve, my Aunt V and I went to town, we ate at a cafeteria. We stood in a slow moving line along a wall of small chubby hole doors. When you saw something you wanted you opened the door and put it on your tray…I took an egg salad sandwich…what a sandwich! have never made or found one like it since…..:(
Will try this one…hope it is THE ONE!!!
I love Nutella, Nutella hates me…or at least its very mean ingredient hazelnuts. Harsh lesson in food life…broke out in red angry rash that lasted for days and itched like crazy!
Yum! With a little bacon perhaps? ;)
