Instructions

- Transfer chopped eggs into a mixing vessel, incorporating mayonnaise for creamy consistency while delicately seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Gently fold ingredients together, ensuring eggs remain slightly chunky for textural interest and preventing over-mashing.

- Consider using Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative to mayonnaise for lower-calorie option.
- Toast bread beforehand to prevent sogginess and add delightful crunch to sandwich.
