Egg Salad Sandwich – rich, chunky egg salad infused with bright, fresh, sweet and savory flavors that’s good on its own or as a filling to your morning toasted bread. A simple, easy and classic quick food that everybody loves!
Eggs are pretty much an essential ingredient to an American meal. They are highly consumed whether your baking or simply tossing it on a bowl of fresh salad. Here in our house, most of our mornings would start something with an egg, like this Spinach Quiche HERE or a good Plantain Hash & Egg. But there are times, that I would start my day with a slice or two of my favorite moist and fluffy Banana Cake. That’d still count as a HEALTHY breakfast, right?? You know, it’s made with eggs and bananas. 😉
But you know what’s my new favorite egg dish? This Egg Salad Sandwich here.
Every Egg Salad Sandwich starts with the most basic thing that you need to nail – a perfectly cooked egg. Allowing the whole eggs to stand in the hot water for a few more minutes, rather than continue boiling them, will keep you from having rubbery egg whites and green-grayish yolks.
This boiling technique also allows for easy peeling, too.
My Egg Salad Sandwich here isn’t the creamy version but more of the chunky side with a little crunch from chopped green onions and bacon. Yes! BACON! Egg and bacon are the perfect way to start your morning. That smoky savory bacon flavor adds depth of flavor for this sandwich and that much needed crunch.
Add that smoky bacon to the sweet savory curry flavor and you’re totally damn sure that this sandwich here is the best deal ever. I know I may have used the “best” word too often, but this one fits the bill.
You can eat it in a bowl or stuff it on a toasted warm bread with lettuce and sliced tomatoes (optional) as a quick on-the-go lunch, or simply as a breakfast served with a platter of fruits for a healthy meal.
If you’re thinking of taking your mom out for a picnic on Mother’s Day, then this Egg Salad Sandwich is a delightful addition to your picnic menu.
Enjoy!

- For an over the top egg sandwich, you may also top it lettuce, tomato and red onions, if desired.

Just made this and it was amazing! I had never made egg salad before and now I don’t think I can make it any other way. I would never think to add the dill pickles, mustard and curry together but it was the best flavor. The one thing I did differently was grated the hard boiled egg with a cheese grater for a smaller texture. Thanks for the inspo!

Great recipe Imma. In the instructions you didn’t mentioned to do with the bacon. I suppose this has to be fried and cut up into bite pieces, right? And about the prepared mustard can you be a bit more specific please? Can I use powdered mustard or the yellow variety? Thanks for all the Cameroonian dishes in your collection.
imma africanbites says
Hi Charles, yes, you were right about the bacon. Updated the recipe. Prepared mustard is the bottled yellow condiment or spread.
