An egg salad sandwich makes a great lunch, but most of the time it’s not something I have all mixed up and ready to go. I do, however, keep hard-boiled eggs on hand most often. Turns out, you don’t need to create a complicated mixture to enjoy a delicious egg salad sandwich. This post is sponsored by Lunchbox, but all opinions are my own.

Egg and mayo on toast.

Mike requested an egg salad sandwich the other day. I didn’t have the time to make my normal egg salad recipe, so I thought I’d try a shortcut. Using hard-boiled eggs that were already in the refrigerator, I made him a sandwich in minutes. Using the new Hellmann’s Mayo squeeze bottle, I drew him a little heart on the bread. (It’s the little things, after all.)

Steps to make a shortcut egg salad sandwich.

Shortcut to make an Egg Salad Sandwich

Ingredients:

Makes 1 sandwich

  • 2 hard boiled eggs
  • 2 slices of bread
  • Mustard
  • Hellmann’s Mayo in the new squeeze bottle
  • Pepper
  • Paprika

Instructions:

  1. Slice your hard boiled eggs.
  2. Lightly toast the bread.
  3. Place egg white rings on one slice of bread.
  4. Top with crumbled yolks (you don’t have to use all the yolks).
  5. Sprinkle with mustard to taste.
  6. Add mayo to taste.
  7. Top with pepper and paprika.
  8. Using the Hellmann’s Mayo squeeze bottle, draw or write something creative on the other slice of bread to make someone happy!

Normally when I make a big batch of egg salad, it doesn’t all get eaten in time. This shortcut not only saved me time, but also prevented waste. It was just as yummy, too! Total win. Try the best potato salad with eggs recipe next!

    Love egg salad sandwiches! We have backyard chickens… so I need easy ways to use up those eggs. Love that you use the slicer for them. So much faster than cutting and mashing.

    1. Fresh eggs are the BEST! My Gram has a small farm and we use the eggs, too. It’s amazing how the yolks are so much more colorful!

  33. Ronald Gagnon says:

    I have enjoyed egg salad sandwiches (add a little paprika) for over 50 years, and I never once thought of using frozen eggs…thank you

    1. I didn’t use frozen eggs. They were just already hard boiled and in my refrigerator. Sorry for the confusion! 🙂

  34. Nancy @ Whispered Inspirations says:

    Mmm, I love an egg salad sandwich. 🙂 Easy and delish.

  35. Just Plain Marie says:

    I was actually surprised when I was reading some old recipes – this used to be a lot more common, as near as I can tell, than egg salad. Nice reminder, though, that boiled eggs can make a sandwich without going to the work of making egg salad.

    1. I didn’t realize that either! I definitely prefer it. Most of the time when I make a batch of egg salad, it goes bad before it’s all eaten!
