Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs hard boiled and peeled
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup celery finely chopped
  • ¼ cup onion finely chopped
  • 8 slices sandwich bread

Instructions

  • Mash eggs with a potato masher in a medium bowl. Add lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, celery, and onion. Mix to combine.
  • Cover and refrigerate to allow flavours to develop, and to cool filling, about 1 hour.
  • Serve between slices of bread. Leftovers can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice. I don't recommend leaving lemon juice out either. It brings a brightness to the egg salad.
  • Use whichever type of sandwich bread you prefer. Some recommended ones: multigrain, white, brown, rye. Just make sure to pick a soft bread. If the bread is too hard, the filling will squeeze out the sides.
  • Hard boil eggs the day before to make this recipe quicker to make.
