Egg Salad Sandwiches are a lunchtime favorite at our house. We have chickens, so we always have plenty of eggs.
What Goes On Egg Salad Sandwiches:
Egg salad is delicious by itself. For an epic sandwich, we like to add a bit of Miracle Whip or mayo, lettuce, red onion and sweet pickles. It’s great served on slices of Amish White Bread, wheat bread or bakery croissants.
My Favorite Egg Recipes:
- If you have an abundance of eggs, Sausage and Spinach Quiche is a great dish for any meal of the day. It’s really flavorful and gets rave reviews.
- Ham and Egg Breakfast Rolls are a great breakfast or brunch that everyone will love. They are so filling and easy to make with crescent dough.
- Breakfast Strata is a hearty casserole with ham, eggs, bread and cheese that can be made the night before and baked fresh for breakfast. A holiday favorite that is easy to feed a crowd.
Egg Salad is a great option for a quick and easy meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Simple to make ahead and keep on hand for busy schedules.
