Tips:

For the best egg salad sandwich, use hard-boiled eggs that are fresh and have been properly cooked. Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs may not be safe to eat.
Use high-quality mayonnaise. Cheap mayonnaise can be watery and flavorless, while a good mayonnaise will be thick and creamy and add a rich flavor to your egg salad.
Add some chopped celery and onion to your egg salad for a bit of crunch and flavor. You can also add other ingredients like chopped pickles, chopped herbs, or even crumbled bacon.
Season your egg salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a bit of Dijon mustard or paprika for a bit of extra flavor.
Spread your egg salad on your favorite bread and top with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, bacon, and avocado.
