Ingredients

  • 6 Eggs-Hard Boiled
  • 2-3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • pinch Celery Seed (opt)
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tsp Fresh Garlic Chives
  • 2 tsp Fresh Dill
  • Sea Salt
  • Cracked Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Celery
  • 1-2 tbsp Red Onion
  • Italian Bread
  • Romaine Lettuce

Instructions

  1. 1To make hard boiled eggs place eggs in the bottom of a pot with water that is 1” above the eggs. Cook on high heat until a rolling boil. Put on pot lid and turn off burner. Cook eggs in water for 10-12 minutes. After the eggs are cooked, place in an ice water bath for about 15 minutes. To peel, crack the bottom of the egg and gently remove the shells. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect. Cut eggs in half and place egg yolks in a small bowl. Cut up egg whites and set aside.
  2. 2Using a fork, break up egg yolks. Add mayo, djon mustard and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. 3Finely dice the red onion and celery. Finely chop the chives and dill. Add onion, celery and herbs to the creamy yolk mixture. Add a pinch of celery seed, sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Add the egg whites and fold into the creamy egg mixture.
  4. 4Lightly toast Italian bread and top with the egg salad, a little fresh dill, finely diced red onion and lettuce.

Small Sandwiches Do The Heavy Lifting

A plate of little sandwiches keeps people fed while you finish everything else. They come together with boiled eggs, softened cream cheese, or leftover chicken, and they look like you fussed when you really didn't.

Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection for baby showers and church lunches, for card night, and for those afternoons when nobody wants a hot meal but everybody's hungry.

Every recipe here is a real sandwich someone made and shared: Fresh Dill Egg Salad Sandwich, Cucumber Sandwiches on soft white bread, Desi Cucumber Sandwiches with yogurt and ginger, Fancy Cream Cheese Cucumber Sandwiches, Fall Chicken Salad Sandwiches with apple and dried cranberries, and Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Almonds and Grapes.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Salt the cucumbers first

    Slice cucumbers thin, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit on paper towels 15 minutes, then pat dry so the bread stays soft instead of soggy.

  2. 2

    Soften the cream cheese

    Leave cream cheese out 30 to 45 minutes before mixing so it spreads to the edges without tearing the bread.

  3. 3

    Chill before you cut

    Assemble, cover with a damp paper towel, and refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes so the fillings set and the slices cut clean.

  4. 4

    Trim crusts last

    Cut crusts off after filling with a long serrated knife, then slice into 2 triangles or 3 fingers for even little pieces.
