Egg Salad Sandwiches

Charlotte J's Note:

Mrs. Peterson, a lady from church, made the best egg salad sandwiches and she'd never really tell you what she put in them. This was my first attempt to duplicate her recipe. Her family thought she added butter when mixing.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 6 eggs, hard cooked, cooled and diced
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup Miracle Whip
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
• 16 slices bread

Other ingredients

• 2 tablespoons onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup celery, chopped
• 1/4 cup pickle relish
• 1/2 cup green olives

Directions:

1. Mix together the eggs, butter, miracle whip and seasonings.
2. Refrigerate until your ready to make your sandwiches.
3. Spread on one bread slice then top with another piece of bread.
4. If you'd like here are a few other ingredients you could add.
5. Mrs. Peterson could have added the onions and celery, I don't remember.
6. I know she did not use the relish or olives.
7. But I thought they may offer a different taste, as I saw them in another recipe.

We thought this was good. I didn't add any of the "other ingredients", but did add a squirt of Kraft horseradish sauce and yellow mustard, which is something that I always put in egg salad.

I never had Mrs Peterson's sandwiches but these were pretty good. I used Hellman's Light & added onions - didn't have any celery but I'll try that next time. I would never have thought to add butter - thanks for posting this.

This is the most delicious egg salad I have ever tasted and will now be my standard recipe. I wanted to use up a bunch of Easter eggs I had lying around, so I thought I would give this new recipe a try and I am so glad I did. I did leave out dill weed and celery salt as I had neither in the house and I also did not add any of the optional ingredients. I used garlic powder, not garlic salt, and just adjusted the regular salt measurement accordingly. I think the flavors of the seasoned salt, the garlic, and most especially the melted butter really made for a superior flavor.
