Prep-ahead egg salad: Savor mornings without the rush
Mornings can be hectic, and every minute of sleep is precious. That's why, instead of spending time making egg spread in the morning, I prepare a quick egg salad for sandwiches the night before. It's a smart solution that lets me enjoy a delicious breakfast without the rush. This egg salad is a true lifesaver for those of us who are busy and value a leisurely morning.
If you love egg spread but are looking for something different, egg salad for sandwiches is an excellent choice. Preparing it takes just a moment, and in the morning, you have a ready-to-eat, nutritious spread for your bread. This way, you can sleep a little longer and still enjoy a tasty breakfast.
How do I prepare egg salad for sandwiches?
This dish is extremely simple – just a few basic ingredients that you chop and mix with mayonnaise and mustard. If you have an egg and vegetable slicer, preparation takes just a moment. However, you can easily chop the ingredients on a cutting board as well.
Ham pairs wonderfully with this salad – you can use classic deli ham, a poultry version, or even canned ham. Alternatively, instead of meat, you could add smoked fish, such as mackerel or salmon, to give the dish a unique aroma. If you prefer spicier flavors, add a teaspoon of horseradish to enhance the entire dish.
Ingredients:
- 4 hard-boiled eggs,
- 2 boiled potatoes,
- 5 oz ham or other addition,
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise,
- 1 tablespoon mustard (mild or spicy),
- chives or parsley,
- salt and pepper to taste.
Preparation:
- Dice the eggs, potatoes, and ham, and place them in a bowl.
- Add mayonnaise and mustard, and mix thoroughly.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
How to serve egg salad for sandwiches?
This delicious salad tastes great on fresh bread, especially when accompanied by crispy iceberg lettuce and tomato slices. I also serve it on toast or crispy bread for added texture.
It's not only an ideal option for everyday breakfast but also for the holiday table. If you want to present it more impressively, serve it on chicory leaves, stuffed tomatoes, or pepper slices. This variation will be a fantastic addition to the Easter menu and is also perfect as a party snack.
The salad can also be used as a filling for eggs, allowing for even more culinary creativity. Thanks to this, one simple dish can inspire many interesting versions.
