Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup celery (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 sandwich bread slices
- 4 butter lettuce leaves
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to cover them by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 12 minutes.
Step 3
Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Gently crack the shells and peel the eggs under running water.
Step 4
Chop the peeled eggs into small pieces and transfer them to a medium mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced celery, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
Step 6
Taste the egg salad and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
Step 7
To assemble the sandwiches, place a leaf of butter lettuce on 4 slices of sandwich bread. Spoon a generous amount of egg salad onto each slice with lettuce, then top with the remaining bread slices.
Step 8
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, or wrap them in parchment paper and refrigerate if making ahead.
