Ingredients

6 large hard-boiled eggs (see instructions below)
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
¼ cup finely diced celery
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, drained of juice
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For serving: croissants, bread or rolls of choice (toasted if desired); lettuce

Instructions

Place the peeled, hardboiled eggs in a bowl. Roughly chop the eggs using a fork or pastry blender.
In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, celery, pickle relish, salt, and pepper.
Add the chopped egg and gently mix until combined.
Assemble sandwiches with egg salad and lettuce on croissants, bread, or rolls of choice. Serve immediately.

Notes

How to Hard Boil Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with water so that there is about 1 inch of water over the eggs. Bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils, remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let stand for 12 minutes. Drain and rinse the eggs under cold water for 1 minute. Once the outside of the eggs feel cool, crack the shells and carefully peel under cold water.

Store egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
