This simple yet satisfying dish consists of chopped hard-boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings, served between two slices of bread. The origins of the egg salad sandwich are unclear, but it gained popularity as a staple in diners, delis, and lunchboxes across the United States. Chefs and home cooks have put their own spin on the traditional recipe, adding ingredients like chopped celery, onions, and fresh herbs for extra flavor and texture. In recent years, variations such as avocado egg salad and spicy sriracha egg salad have emerged, catering to diverse palates.
