Sandwich Ingredients- 5 fresh eggs
- 4 slices of soft bread
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 2-3 pinches of salt
For Boiling Eggs- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot, add enough water to cover the eggs and stir in 1 teaspoon of salt. Once the water comes to a rolling boil, carefully add 5 eggs that have been brought to room temperature. Cover and boil for about 12 minutes until the eggs are hard-boiled.
Step 2
Immediately transfer the hard-boiled eggs to a bowl of ice-cold water to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier. Once cooled, carefully peel the shells off the eggs. (This ensures the yolks are fully cooked for a perfect egg salad consistency.)
Step 3
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Finely chop the egg whites with a knife, keeping some texture for a pleasant bite. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine the mashed egg yolks with 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, and 2-3 pinches of salt. Mix well with a spatula or fork until you have a smooth, cohesive yolk mixture.
Step 5
Add the chopped egg whites to the yolk mixture. Gently fold them in, being careful not to mash the whites, to create the egg salad. Aim for a mixture that is creamy but still has some texture from the whites.
Step 6
For a neater presentation, trim the crusts off the bread slices with a knife. Generously spread a thick layer of the prepared egg salad onto one slice of bread.
Step 7
Place the other slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to hold its shape. Then, using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich in half diagonally or straight across. This wrapping and cutting technique ensures a clean cut without the filling spilling out. Slice to your desired size and enjoy your delicious egg salad sandwich!
