Preparation
- Boil the Eggs: Start by placing the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for about 10-12 minutes.
- Cool and Shell: After your time is up, transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water. This helps stop the cooking and makes the eggs easier to peel. Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh chives, stirring gently to ensure the eggs remain somewhat chunky.
- Season: Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Give it one final mix to incorporate all the flavors.
- Toast the Bread: Butter the outside of each slice of sourdough bread and toast it on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble: Spread the creamy egg salad generously on one slice of toasted bread, top with another slice, and cut in half.
Notes
For any leftovers, store your egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Consider freezing the bread separately from the egg salad. Let it come to room temperature before reheating to maintain creaminess. Customize with toppings like lettuce or tomato.
