Description
A creamy, warmly spiced twist on a classic—this Curry Egg Salad Sandwich is quick, comforting, and bursting with flavor. Perfect for lunch, brunch, or meal prep.
Ingredients
- Large Eggs: 6 (hard-boiled, peeled, and chopped—provides the creamy, protein-rich base)
- Mayonnaise: ¼ cup (adds creaminess and binds the salad)
- Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream: 2 tablespoons (lightens up the mayo and adds tang)
- Curry Powder: 1½ teaspoons (infuses the salad with warm, aromatic flavor)
- Dijon Mustard: 1 teaspoon (adds a subtle bite and depth)
- Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon (brightens and balances the richness)
- Salt: ½ teaspoon (enhances all the other flavors)
- Black Pepper: ¼ teaspoon (adds a gentle kick)
- Celery (optional): 1 stalk, finely chopped (adds crunch and freshness)
- Green Onions or Chives: 2 tablespoons, finely sliced (adds mild sharpness)
- Bread of Choice: 4 slices (soft sandwich bread, sourdough, or croissants—your call)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: No need for heat here, but make sure your saucepan is ready for boiling.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mash the hard-boiled eggs to your desired texture. Stir in mayonnaise, yogurt, curry powder, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Not needed for this no-cook recipe, but have a clean board and utensils ready for assembly.
- Assemble the Dish: If using, fold in chopped celery and green onions. Mix gently to avoid over-mashing the eggs.
- Cook to Perfection: Again, no cooking—but you can toast your bread if desired for contrast.
- Finishing Touches: Spread egg salad evenly on one slice of bread, top with another slice. Slice diagonally for that classic sandwich look.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and chill for later. Perfect with chips, pickles, or a crisp side salad.
Notes
- Use older eggs—they peel easier after boiling.
- Let the salad chill for 30 minutes before serving for better flavor blending.
- Add celery or onion for texture contrast.
- Spread butter on bread to prevent sogginess if storing.
