Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 soft boiled eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tbsp whole egg mayonnaise (S&W brand recommended)
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp finely chopped chives (or substitute with green onion)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp cooking/kosher salt
Sandwich Components
- 8 slices soft white sandwich bread
- Soft salted butter, for spreading on bread
Instructions
- Mash Egg: Place the soft boiled eggs in a bowl and crush them with a fork. Once mostly broken up, use a potato masher to mash the eggs thoroughly until mostly smooth with small bits of egg white, which creates a creamier filling.
- Prepare Filling: Add the whole egg mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, black pepper, and cooking salt to the mashed eggs. Gently stir to combine all ingredients evenly. Taste and add more salt cautiously, as eggs require surprisingly little seasoning.
- Assemble Sandwich: Butter each slice of bread generously with soft salted butter. Divide the egg filling evenly among 4 slices, spreading it edge to edge. Optionally, trim off the crusts for a neat presentation and then cut the sandwiches as desired.
- Serve: Serve the egg sandwiches at room temperature to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using room temperature eggs helps the filling blend more smoothly.
- S&W brand mayonnaise is recommended for the best flavor, but any good-quality whole egg mayonnaise will suffice.
- Soft white sandwich bread provides the ideal texture and softness for this sandwich.
- Trimming crusts is optional; it can make the sandwiches easier to eat and visually appealing.
- Serving at room temperature enhances the flavor profile of the eggs and mayo combination.
