This was the first recipe that I ever tried for egg salad and Scott loved it. I’d planned to add relish to it because my mom always used it but I didn’t have any. When I told Scott he was happy because he likes it without relish anyway! So, this was a good recipe for him. He’s been asking me to make it again for a while now… I finally got around to it! When I remember, I also add a few sprinkles of Old Bay seasoning in the salad and/or Paprika over the top.
Egg Salad Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 8 hard-cooked eggs, diced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup dried onion flakes (I use about an 1/8 of a cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- 8 slices white bread
Directions
In a bowl, gently mix the eggs, mayonnaise, onion flakes, salt, mustard powder, garlic powder, pepper, and dill. Cover, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight. To serve, spread equal amounts on 4 slices bread; top with remaining bread slices to make sandwiches.
If using promptly, begin by placing onion flakes in a small bowl and adding 1/4 cup hot water. Let sit 10 minutes, or until soft. Drain and discard the water, then add the rest of the ingredients to the onion, blending well.
