Directions

  1. 1Place two eggs into a pot.
  2. 2Fill the pot with cold water until the eggs are just covered.
  3. 3Heat the pot on high on the stove until the water comes to a rolling boil.
  4. 4Once boiling, cut the heat and cover the pot. Let it sit on the hot burner for 12 minutes.
  5. 5Strain all the hot water out of the pot.
  6. 6Run cold water onto the eggs for a few minutes until they no longer feel warm to the touch. Alternatively, you can put ice in the water.
  7. 7Peel the hard-boiled eggs. The shells should come off perfectly.
  8. 8Break up the peeled eggs in a bowl with a fork until they are nice and small.
  9. 9Add a spoonful of sweet relish to the eggs.
  10. 10Add a tiny squeeze of Dijon mustard for tang.
  11. 11Add a generous amount of mayonnaise, as it is the main star of egg salad.
  12. 12Add a regular pinch of salt.
  13. 13Mix everything thoroughly until you have a perfect, wet egg salad.
  14. 14Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on two slices of white bread to prevent dryness.
  15. 15Top one slice of bread with the egg salad, finding two eggs to be the perfect amount for one sandwich.
  16. 16Place the other slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
  17. 17Cut the sandwich in half diagonally.
  18. 18Serve the egg salad sandwich with a side of potato chips.
  19. 19Use any fallen egg salad as a dip for chips.
