How to make the best Egg Salad Sandwiches
Bring a large saucepan full of water to a boil over medium heat. Rest a wooden spoon on top of the water to help prevent the water from boiling over. Leave it there while the eggs cook.
Add the eggs and cook for 10 – 12 minutes.
Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Add the eggs to the ice water and let sit for 10 minutes.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs. Rinse off any small shell particles. Pat dry with a paper towel and put them in a bowl.
Mash the eggs and yolks with a fork.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to the eggs and stir to combine.
Taste and add more salt or pepper as desired. Serve on large croissants or bread of your choice.

I’ve done same thing all these years, except I add a good quality Paprika! Probably because my Potato salad (with eggs!) isn’t finished without paprika! Once in a while, I “devil” it by adding extra gourmet Mustard and a dash of cayenne!!!
