Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 ounces Smoked salmon
- 8 slices Thinly sliced sandwich bread (white or whole wheat, crusts removed)
- 2 tablespoons Softened butter (optional, for spreading)
- 0.5 cup Arugula or baby spinach (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and chop them finely.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Lay out the slices of bread. Optionally spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice to prevent sogginess.
Step 5
Spread a generous amount of the egg salad mixture onto half of the bread slices.
Step 6
On top of the egg salad, layer thinly sliced pieces of smoked salmon. Add a few arugula or baby spinach leaves, if desired, for an extra touch of freshness.
Step 7
Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side down if applicable.
Step 8
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts from the sandwiches (if not already removed) and cut each sandwich into quarters or triangles, depending on your preference.
Step 9
Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
