Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Fill the saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

- Add 2 teaspoons of mustard.
- Season the mixture with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Use a fork or spoon to thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined.
- Lay out the 2 slices of whole-wheat bread on a clean surface.
- Evenly spread the egg salad mixture onto one slice of the bread.
- Place the other slice of bread on top of the egg salad mixture to form a sandwich.
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired.

Tips:
- For easier peeling, place the boiled eggs in an ice water bath immediately after cooking.
- Use a fork to mash the eggs for a more finely textured egg salad, or keep it chunkier by roughly chopping the eggs.
- If you prefer a healthier version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.
- Adding a bit of chopped celery or green onions can give the egg salad extra crunch and flavor.
- Toast the whole-wheat bread slices for an added crispy texture and enhanced flavor.
Enjoy your delicious homemade egg salad sandwich, perfect for a quick lunch or a light meal. The combination of creamy egg salad with the hearty texture of whole-wheat bread creates a satisfying and nutritious dish.
