Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium, finely chopped Celery stalk
• 2 finely chopped Green onions
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh dill
• 8 pieces (whole grain or your choice of bread) Bread slices
• 2 tablespoons, softened (optional for toasting) Butter
• 4 large (optional for garnish) Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot. Fill with cold water until eggs are covered by about an inch.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit in hot water for 10 minutes.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and place the eggs in a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes.

Step 4

Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small, uneven chunks.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the chopped celery, green onions, and fresh dill to the egg mixture. Mix gently until everything is well combined.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt and pepper as preferred.

Step 8

For toasted sandwiches: Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buttered side until golden brown.

Step 9

Assemble the sandwiches by placing a scoop of egg salad on the unbuttered side of half the bread slices. Top with lettuce leaves if using.

Step 10

Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, toasted side up if toasted.

Step 11

Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately.
