Preparation Instructions
- Begin by filling a medium pot with cold water and gently placing the 2 large eggs inside. Heat the pot over medium-high heat until the water reaches a rolling boil. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked. Afterward, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for easy peeling.
- Once the eggs are cooled, carefully peel them under running water to prevent any shell bits from sticking. Chop the eggs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the eggs. Gently mix everything with a fork until creamy but with some egg texture still visible.
- Next, fold in the finely chopped celery and green onions, ensuring even distribution throughout the egg mixture. Season this delightful creation with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Select your favorite bread and generously spread the egg salad mixture onto one slice of bread. If you like, add a layer of fresh lettuce or tomato slices before topping it with another slice of bread. Press down gently to adhere the layers.
- To finish off your sandwich, add a sprinkle of paprika, chopped chives, or cracked black pepper on top for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve your Egg Salad Sandwich with Cream Cheese alongside crispy vegetable sticks, kettle-cooked chips, or a light green salad.
