My wife proclaimed this to be the best egg salad she’s had. I’m surely not going to argue with her, either. It’s light, fluffy and tasty, and goes perfectly with thin-sliced ham. Nothing fancy here. Just great ham and egg sandwiches. The original recipe was meant to make finger sandwiches, which you could do, but if I’m coming I’d prefer the full-sized version, please! If I was going to a dainty tea party (which has never happened, by-the-way), I’d take the finger sandwich-sized ones.
Make It Your Way
I chopped the ham to give it more of a shaved ham feel, a little lighter than just sliced ham. I think it went better with the airy egg salad. You don’t have to do that, and in fact, you really don’t need the ham at all. No matter how you do it, these ham and egg sandwiches are a delight.
I think these would be great with turkey sandwich meat instead. I’d lean towards a thinner sandwich meat. So no thick bologna slices. These are meant to be more on the light side.
I’m Boiled Egg Challenged
I absolutely stink (best word I could think of) when it comes to making boiled eggs. Hard or soft, doesn’t matter. I am egg challenged. So I picked up a little cheap egg cooker like the one below. This lil baby cranks out 6 eggs in about 15 minutes and they’re perfect each and every time! I don’t even feel bad any more that I just cannot make boiled eggs! Seriously, I look like a hard-boil egg-cooking master now!

And Now, Mayonnaise
I am not a food snob. Or whatever you call it. I do like what I like, though. So I will say that the better the mayonnaise you use, the better these sandwiches are. For me, that means Blue Plate mayonnaise. It’s super creamy. Super mayonnaise-tasty. No weird tastes that mess with your egg salad. You want a mayonnaise that works with it, not fights it. And for me it’s Blue Plate.
