This Classic Egg Salad gets an upgrade with boiled eggs, cream cheese, celery and croissants! This unique egg salad sandwich is the best and so easy to make!
I remember being a kid and thinking hard boiled eggs were super gross – in an egg salad or otherwise. I couldn’t imagine why anyone would want to eat them, much less for breakfast or even a snack.
So it’s funny how I’ve ended up LOVING egg salad sandwiches for lunch, considering that the main ingredient is hard boiled eggs. Granted, it’s not just hard boiled eggs, but that distinction is normally hard to pass off – like on kids, when you’re trying to get them to eat the veggies in their soup.
I don’t know what happened between being a kid and being an adult that made me change my mind, but I love the creamy texture and the consistent flavor.
After all my playing around with flavors and techniques, I stumbled upon this deluxe egg salad recipe that’s simply incredible.
It includes cream cheese, grated onions and is by far my favorite version of egg salad.PREP TIME15 minutesTOTAL TIME15 minutes
