  • 3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise or substitute with Greek yogurt or cream cheese
  • ¾ to 1 tablespoon mustard or ⅛ teaspoon ground mustard optional
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper ground pepper
  • Salt to taste use sparingly as mayonnaise already contains salt

  5. Once toasted, cool the bread slightly, then spread the prepared egg salad on one slice.
