Egg Salad Sandwich
When Robin asked for Nanny's recipe for egg salad she was given the ingredients, without any measurements. The only instruction was to sprinkle paprika on top for color, never to mix in! Originally served as part of: Egg Salad Sunday.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (hard boiled , peeled)
- 1 tablespoon light, more if desired mayonnaise (Hellmann's)
- ¼ cup celery (finely diced)
- salt & pepper
- ½ large wheat baguette
- sweet paprika
Instructions
We use our egg slicer to slice each egg, rotate the egg 90 degrees, and slice again. This large dice is placed in a large bowl. Using a fork, we continue to mash the eggs as we add the mayonnaise, celery, salt and pepper. We taste for seasoning.
The bread is cut into three sandwich pieces and sliced horizontally. We fill with the egg salad, add more mayo if desired, and sprinkle on the paprika.

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
Kid job
Slice each egg in an egg slicer, turn it a quarter turn, and slice again. Put the pieces in a large bowl.
Kid job
Mash with a fork as you mix in the mayonnaise, celery, salt and pepper. Taste.
Cut the bread into 3 pieces and slice each open. Fill with egg salad and sprinkle paprika on top for color. Nanny says never to mix it in.
