Egg Salad Sandwiches

Would you like to know the secret to the perfect egg salad sandwich?   I think I'm sensing a theme with my posts lately, besides my 1970's plates and poor photography that is. 

Anyway, you know how egg salad from the deli is just super fluffy and yummy?  Well, for one, they use extra yolks but the real secret to great egg salad, in my not so humble opinion, is butter.

You'll need:

8 hard boiled eggs, chilled
1 tablespoon mayonaise
1 tablespoon Dijon style mustard
1/4 red onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon of fresh dill
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon franks red hot sauce (you didn't think I only had ONE secret ingredient, did you?)

8 slices of bread.

Peel your eggs and separate the yolk from 2 of them, discarding the whites (or eat them).  Mash the two yolks, along with the 6 whole eggs with a fork.  No need to get it fine, chunky is better.

Mix the rest of your ingredients in.  The butter will solidify with the rest of the cold ingredients and give your egg salad the richest most decadent texture.


YUM.  And, might I add, that this is an incredibly inexpensive easy meal to throw together.  Especially if you are like me and always have hard boiled eggs in the fridge.
