Questions I often get asked about this recipe:
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can substitute mashed tofu or chickpeas for the eggs and vegan mayonnaise for the traditional mayonnaise to make a vegan version of this sandwich.
How long will the avocado egg salad keep in the refrigerator?
The avocado egg salad mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, it’s best to assemble the sandwiches just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Can I use other types of bread for this sandwich?
Absolutely! While whole grain bread adds a nutty flavor and extra nutrients, you can use any bread you prefer, such as sourdough, rye, or even a gluten-free option.
Can I add other herbs or spices to the avocado mixture?

What you need to make Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich:
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1 ripe avocado, peeled and mashed
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 green onions, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
8 slices whole grain bread
Lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes (optional, for serving)
How to make it:
Instructions:
Hard boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and cool under cold running water. Peel and chop the eggs.
Prepare the avocado mixture: In a bowl, combine the mashed avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread the avocado mixture evenly onto 4 slices of bread. Top each with chopped eggs, lettuce leaves, and sliced tomatoes if desired. Place the remaining bread slices on top.
Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap for later.
Tips:
Choose ripe avocados:
For the creamiest texture, use avocados that are ripe but not overripe. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed.
Customize to your taste:
Feel free to customize the sandwich with your favorite ingredients such as crispy bacon, sliced cucumbers, or spicy jalapenos for an extra kick.
Make it ahead:
You can prepare the avocado mixture and hard-boil the eggs ahead of time to streamline the assembly process, making this sandwich ideal for meal prep or picnics.
Use good quality bread:
Opt for whole grain or artisan bread for added flavor and texture. Toasting the bread lightly can also enhance the overall taste of the sandwich.
