1. Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
-
Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil.
-
Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 10-12 minutes, then transfer to ice water.
-
Peel and chop eggs (or mash slightly for creamier texture).
2. Make the Dreamy Dressing
-
In a bowl, whisk together mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, relish/honey, paprika, garlic powder, salt & pepper.
3. Mix It All Together
-
Gently fold in chopped eggs, red onion, celery, dill, and chives.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning (more salt? More tang? Make it yours!).
4. Assemble the Sandwich
-
Toast bread lightly (optional but recommended).
-
Pile egg salad high on one slice, add lettuce/tomato if using, and top with second slice.
-
Cut diagonally (because it tastes better that way 😉).
