Instructions

Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 9-10 minutes to hard-boil the eggs.
Cool and Peel: Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully.
Chop the Eggs: Coarsely chop the peeled eggs and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Prepare Egg Salad: Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, red onion, and lemon juice to the chopped eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Season: Add salt and black pepper to taste and stir to incorporate the seasonings into the egg salad.
Toast the Bread: If desired, toast the slices of bread lightly to add texture and warmth to the sandwich.
Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the egg salad evenly over two slices of bread. Add lettuce leaves on top if using, then cover with the remaining slices of bread.
Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.

For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or mashed avocado.
Add chopped pickles or a pinch of paprika to the egg salad for extra flavor.
Customize your sandwich with additional toppings such as tomato slices or crispy bacon.
