Think of this for a sandwich that has an unmixed, deconstructed, or deviled egg salad. Here, a sliced, almost-hard-boiled egg, a challah roll or slices (although brioche or potato bread would work), a large handful of arugula, and what I think of as the ideal sandwich spread—mayo, strong dijon, coarse dijon, and prepared horseradish—are all necessary. The mixture should be crisp; a shot of spicy sauce is acceptable. I always have a thin layer of something, and it's different almost every time, typically leftover from another dish — caramelized onions, pickled shallots, shaved fennel, cucumber, and here, some thinly-sliced pickles and celery — and every single one is perfect.
2 servings,
15 minutes.
Ingredients:
Mayonnaise, 1/4 cup
1 tablespoon of dijon mustard, smooth
mustard, whole-grain, 2 teaspoons
Prepared Horseradish 2 teaspoons
freshly ground black pepper and salt
2 soft potato buns, brioche, challah, or slices from a loaf
use butter while toasting
2 chilled, sliced, and peeled hard-boiled eggs
Pickles, celery, and pickled onions, thinly sliced
2 cups of fresh, roughly torn arugula
Instructions
Making a sandwich spread is as simple as mixing mayo, dijon, wholegrain mustard, and horseradish in a small container or jar. Add salt, pepper, and a few drops of spicy sauce to taste as desired. Even though this makes a little bit more than you would need, it stores for 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, so feel free to double it.
Toast your bread: While you can toast bread in a toaster, I prefer to toast sandwich rolls in a nonstick pan over medium heat with a pat of butter. Put your rolls on the pan with the sliced side up. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown. Before putting together sandwiches, transfer to a platter to chill slightly.
Put the first bun together by generously spreading sandwich spread on both of its cut sides. Sliced eggs should be placed over the bottom half. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Add pickles or any of the substitutes listed below, along with a large handful of shredded arugula, and then push the top of the roll down to smush everything together. Repeat with the remaining sandwich.
Notes:
Make hard-boiled eggs using this method. Stop the cooking process for sliced sandwiches at 9 minutes, 30 to 40 seconds to maintain a dark, moist yellow in the middle.
Make own prepared horseradish over Passover and use it for months following, along with Hellman's mayo, Amora dijon mustard, Maille wholegrain mustard, and other ingredients.
Add a thin layer of whatever you have left in the fridge to the sandwich, such as thinly sliced celery, fennel, or cucumbers that have been pickled or caramelized. They have all tasted good.

Egg salad's time of storage is how long?
In the refrigerator, this classic egg salad keeps for 3 to 5 days. Before assembling fresh sandwiches, thoroughly swirl the mixture if any separation develops.
Does Classic Egg Salad Allow Mix-Ins?
Just do it! You may change up these simple egg salad sandwiches as you like: with relish, crumbled bacon, or a dash of paprika.
White bread that has been lightly toasted and butter-brushed is a need whether you want sweet Miracle Whip or classic mayonnaise. I believe the best combination is two eggs, one tiny a tablespoon of mayonnaise, half a teaspoon of mustard, and a pinch of salt.
You can add some fresh herbs to your plain egg salad to give it some flavor, if you'd like. Or, Try mixing different mustards to get a deeper flavor.

Instructions
The eggs must be properly hard-boiled in order for a simple egg salad sandwich to be truly phenomenal. The eggs should be put in a pot with water covering them. Next, heat the mixture until it boils.
Take the dish off the heat, cover with lid, and let it set for 10 minutes. After that, cool for five minutes in cold water and ice cubes. For optimal results, crack and peel eggs while they are being washed under cold running water.
The remaining ingredients can then be combined and mashed before being topped with your choice bread.
Note
Keep in mind that egg salad is one of those foods that improves with age. Even while it is delicious when eaten right away, it tastes even better after a few hours of chilling in the refrigerator.
