The Egg Salad Sandwich has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. It is believed to have originated in the United States, where it quickly became a popular lunchtime staple. The dish typically consists of chopped hard-boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings, then served between two slices of bread. Chefs and home cooks have put their own spin on the classic recipe, adding ingredients like celery, onions, and herbs for extra flavor. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in delis and cafes across the country, with some renowned establishments in New York City and the Midwest known for their exceptional Egg Salad Sandwiches. For a twist on the traditional recipe, consider adding avocado or bacon for a delicious alternative.
