Egg salad elegance: A morning shortcut to tasty breakfast

Mornings can be hectic, and every moment of sleep is valuable. That's why, instead of spending time making egg spread, I prepare a quick egg salad for sandwiches the evening before. It's a smart solution that lets me enjoy a delicious breakfast without rushing. This egg salad for sandwiches is a real lifesaver for those who are busy and appreciate a relaxed morning.

If you love egg spread but want something different, egg salad for sandwiches is an excellent choice. Preparing it takes hardly any time at all, and in the morning, you have a ready, nutritious addition to bread. This way, you can sleep a bit longer and still enjoy a tasty breakfast.

How do I prepare egg salad for sandwiches?

This dish is exceptionally simple – just a few basic ingredients that you chop and mix with mayonnaise and mustard. If you have an egg and vegetable slicer, preparation takes just a moment. However, you can just as easily chop the ingredients on a cutting board.

Ham goes splendidly with this salad – it can be classic deli ham, poultry-based, or even canned. Alternatively, instead of meat, you could add smoked fish, such as mackerel or salmon, which gives the dish a unique aroma. If you enjoy spicier flavours, add a teaspoon of horseradish to enhance the entire dish.

Ingredients:

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs,
  • 2 boiled potatoes,
  • 150 grams of ham or another addition,
  • 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise,
  • 1 tablespoon of mustard (mild or spicy),
  • chives or parsley,
  • salt, and pepper to taste.

Preparation:

  1. Dice the eggs, potatoes, and ham, then put them in a bowl.
  2. Add mayonnaise and mustard, mixing thoroughly.
  3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

How to serve egg salad for sandwiches?

This delicious salad tastes wonderful on fresh bread, especially when accompanied by crispy iceberg lettuce and tomato slices. I also serve it on toast or crispy bread for added texture.

It's an ideal option not only for everyday breakfast but also for festive occasions. If you want a more impressive presentation, place it on chicory leaves, stuffed tomatoes, or pepper pieces. This version will be a fantastic addition to the Easter menu and will also work as a party snack.

The salad can also be used as a filling for eggs, allowing for even more culinary experiments. This way, one simple dish can become an inspiration for many interesting variations.
