Important Notes

⚠️

For perfectly boiled and easy-to-peel eggs, the best method is to lower them into already boiling water and steam them. Starting eggs in cold water can make them difficult to peel.

⚠️

Using your hands is the best way to mash the egg salad, as it gives you great control over the final texture, allowing for a mix of creamy and chunky parts.

⚠️

You can customize the salad with other crunchy vegetables, such as radishes.

⚠️

The type of bread is flexible; while brioche is used here, any good sandwich bread will work.
