Best egg salad sandwich recipe ever – this is the ultimate in comfort food!
Best Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe
This post is sponsored by Hamilton Beach, but the opinions are all my own! #ad #EasterBrunchWeek #HamiltonBeach
When I asked Dan what he wanted for lunch he surprised me by asking for an egg salad sandwich. Maybe that was because he’s seen me scrolling thru hundreds (thousands?) of Easter pins on Pinterest?
Maybe it is because he wanted normal food? (This happens sometimes in our house 😁) Maybe he was just in the mood for great egg salad sandwich?
When we were kids my folks bought a little home in the country. We had 2 1/2 acres and the first thing we got were chickens.
Dad converted the old barn into a place for the chickens to roost and every morning my brother or I would feed the chickens and collect eggs.
I did not like chickens. When we were kids I was attacked by a rooster. It grabbed ahold of my sock and ripped a big hole in it! (True story!) I hated that chicken and I wasn’t sad when Dad butchered that chicken.
Anyway, Dan and I were talking about egg salad and here are some of the reasons we love it.
- Great comfort food.
- It reminds us of picnics and a slower time.
- Creamy and delicious.
- Eggs are super affordable!
Conclusion? Eggs are darn near perfect food!
I’ve been using this Egg Cooker from Hamilton Beach to make hard-boiled eggs. Works great! Scroll down for the link to grab yours!
Easter is right around the corner and soon you’ll have an excess of boiled eggs, right?!! So if you have some eggs to use up, this recipe is a great option. If you don’t, eggs are on sale right now. It’s a great time to buy and make this egg salad sandwich recipe!
Let’s face it, an egg salad sandwich can be pretty boring. It is often under salted and without any fresh ingredients, can really become a yellow dense globby mess.
Chop the eggs, but don’t mince them too small. Large chunks help make a great texture.

April 23, 2017 at 8:25 pmWe’re discussing getting chickens when we buy some land and since there’s only two of us in the house I keep saying I’m worried about how we will use up our stash of eggs. I’m adding this to our list of recipes – there’s only so many cakes a girl can bake & eat 🙂

Helen @ Fuss Free Flavours says
April 24, 2017 at 5:16 amEgg salad is the kind of dish you don’t appreciate until you try it again. But I quite agree, it can go so horribly wrong and be the wrong kind of mush. Your recipe is great for a tasty and non mush type, and certainly got me thinking about trying it out.
Bowl Me Over says
April 24, 2017 at 9:37 amI totally agree, it’s an old fashioned meal you enjoyed growing up and forgot about! Still yummy and delicious, we really enjoy it – thank you Helen!
