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.

Shortcut Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe

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.)

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!

  21. This is such a great idea! I love squeeze bottle condiments- they are so perect for summer picnics and BBQs!

  22. This is awesome. My son loved egg salad sandwiches. These are easier and should taste just as good.

  23. What a quick way to make egg salad sandwich! It’s much faster than taking time to chop and mix everything and then make the sandwich.

  24. Love the new squeeze bottle with Hellman’s mayo. Makes it neater when it comes to making sandwiches as well as easier. Your sandwich looks delicious!

  25. ohhh, I like that – so easy and tasty. I never thought of this and now I am going to make some hard boiled eggs tomorrow and have some for lunch with my hubby, who also loves egg salad. Thank you šŸ™‚

  26. I’ve never had an egg salad before!! I need to try this. Such a great source of protein too.

  29. I love egg salad sandwiches but I like mine a little drier than most people. This is a great way to do it. I never thought of that before

  31. I am the only one here who loves egg salad. This would be perfect! I always have that little bit left-over that’s not enough for a whole sammie but too little to save!

  32. 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.

    • 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. 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

    • I didn’t use frozen eggs. They were just already hard boiled and in my refrigerator. Sorry for the confusion! šŸ™‚

  35. 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.

    • 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!
