1. Use Fresh, High-Quality Eggs
The fresher the eggs, the better the flavor. Organic or free-range eggs also have a richer taste.
2. Mash or Chop – Your Choice!
For a chunkier texture, chop the eggs into pieces. For a smooth and creamy consistency, mash them thoroughly with a fork.
3. Chill Before Serving
Letting the egg salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to blend beautifully.
4. Add Crunch for More Texture
Celery, cucumbers, or even crumbled bacon add a delightful crunch to the sandwich.
5. Experiment with Bread Choices
While white bread is the classic choice, whole wheat, sourdough, or croissants can elevate the sandwich experience.

️ Storage & Meal Prep
How Long Does Egg Salad Last?
Egg salad should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and will stay fresh for 3-4 days. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Can You Freeze Egg Salad?
It’s not recommended to freeze egg salad because mayonnaise tends to separate when thawed, resulting in a watery texture.
