Classic Egg Salad with Relish

eggs,

mayonnaise

chives

sweet pickle relish

Dijon mustard

salt and black pepper

white sandwich bread

Peel and roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs. Add to a large bowl with the mayonnaise, chives, relish and Dijon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the egg salad among 4 slices of bread. Top each sandwich with the additional bread slices. Cut and discard the crusts, if desired.

Halved this recipe for 2 people (still made 4 sandwiches).  Used dill pickle relish instead of sweet, added one rib diced celery and one sliced scallion in lieu of chives.  I had some fresh dill so mixed that in, too.  Very nice!

Except for the salt, pepper, and chives, this has been my recipe for 55 years (I am 78).  I don't use that much mayonnaise for 6 eggs,  Just add a couple tablespoons at at time until it reaches the desired consistency.  Have occasionally added small diced celery, but that is not always in my refrigerator.  Still, a great tasting recipe.  

The chives overwhelmed the taste of the other ingredients. In fact it took hours to get the taste of chives out of my mouth. The recipe called for 2 tablespoons of freshly minced chives. Next time I’ll try it with 2 teaspoons and update my review. 

Very tasty. I added celery and finely diced sweet red pepper. Then it was perfect for me.

What? No onion or celery. Not my classic that's for sure.

I just made this for lunch, made it as written except I mixed together the mix-ins in a separate dish then added to the eggs until I reached my desired consistency.  I was only left with a tablespoon or so, however, I urge you to use the recipe as written, the balance of flavors is perfect, you don’t want to mess that up by messing with the quantities.  Next time I will add 1 egg and use all the mix-in’s. Thank you GZ, this is delicious and it’s now my go recipe for egg salad!

Love this simple yet delicious recipe! I love all GZ recipes.
