Tips:

- For perfectly cooked eggs, bring them to a boil in a pot of water, then reduce to a simmer for about 9 minutes before immediately placing them in an ice bath to cool.

- To make the Greek yogurt egg salad even more flavorful, let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before assembling the sandwiches.

- Toast the baguette slices for added texture and a hint of a warm, crunchy contrast to the creamy egg salad.

- If you're preparing this sandwich in advance, store the egg salad and vegetable components separately and assemble just before serving to keep everything fresh.

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice and some chopped chives or green onions to the egg salad.

Enjoy your Greek Yogurt Egg Salad Sandwich, a delightful and nutritious meal that's perfect for any time of the day. The combination of creamy egg salad, fresh vegetables, and the slight crunch of the baguette makes it a hit. Don't forget to experiment with various toppings and breads to make this sandwich your own. Bon appétit!
