These bite-size egg salad sandwiches are the perfect appetizer or quick snack. They're especially handy when you have leftover hard-boiled or deviled eggs. Ready in just about 10 minutes, these little sandwiches are light, flavorful, and incredibly easy to prepare. They're ideal for parties, brunch spreads, or afternoon tea, and the recipe is easy to customize based on what you have on hand.
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled (leftover deviled eggs also work)
3–4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon French mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 small onion, finely minced (white or red)
About 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
6 slices of bread, crusts removed (white, whole-grain, or whole-wheat)
Chop the boiled eggs finely and place them in a medium bowl.
Add mayonnaise, mustard, a pinch of salt and pepper, minced onion, and chopped dill. Stir well to combine everything evenly.
Spread the egg salad mixture onto 3 slices of bread.
Top with the remaining 3 slices of bread to make sandwiches.
Press gently, then insert 6 toothpicks evenly spaced across each sandwich to help with cutting.
Cut each sandwich into 6 bite-size pieces, using the toothpicks as a guide.
Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
These mini egg salad sandwiches are excellent for serving at:
Cocktail parties
Afternoon tea
Easter brunch
Baby or bridal showers
They can also be made ahead of time—just store them in an airtight container in the fridge and serve cold. The flavors even improve after a few hours.
