Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 teaspoon lemon juice
Fine sea salt, to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped basil (or chives or parsley)
1 small garlic clove, minced, optional
8 slices sandwich bread
Pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Have a bowl of ice water ready. After 9 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice water to cool completely. Peel and slice.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the butter, lemon juice and a pinch salt. Stir in the basil and the garlic, if using.

I would have liked the sandwich more if the bread had been toasted.

I'm not a big fan of hard-cooked eggs, but I really enjoyed this sandwich. The basil butter is what makes it special.

The sandwich was good, but I found the basil butter to be a bit overpowering. I think I'll try it with less butter next time.

I've tried many egg salad sandwiches, but this one is definitely my favorite. The basil butter adds a unique and flavorful twist.
