Ingredients

6 eggs
2 ounces smoked salmon, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped dill
2 teaspoons nonpareil capers
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
14 slices sturdy white sandwich bread
1/4 cup chopped chives, for garnish

Directions

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil the eggs for exactly 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit 10 more minute before draining. Run under cold water and peel the eggs immediately - the shell will come off much more easily while the eggs are still wet and warm.

Using a box grater, grate the eggs on the shredder side into a bowl. Add the salmon, dill, capers, 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Lay out 7 slices of the bread and spread 1/4 cup of the egg salad onto each slice. Cover with the remaining bread slices. Trim the crust off of all the sandwiches and cut each sandwich crosswise into four triangles.

Spread the long side of each triangle with a little mayonnaise and dip each one into the chopped chives. Arrange decoratively on a platter.

The Best Egg Salad I've Had
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love egg salad, could not wait to make this recipe and I was not disappointed. I cut back on the salt, otherwise followed... the recipe exactly. The next time I will double the recipe as they disappeared before anything else on the buffet. AWESOME recipe, thank you Steve and Dan for another winner!Read more

Not bad, but nothing to write home about
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm not sure I'll make it again. It was good, but not great. It seemed to be missing something. I might take another... reviewer's suggestion and add lemon if I do make it again. Read more

excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were great. I took the advice from previous reviewers and cut way back on the salt. I added a few drops of lemon juice... to the mix, and I omitted the chives due to lack of time. I'm not a fan of egg salad but I'd definitely make this again.Read more

best ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is THE best Egg Salad I have ever eaten. I added the chives right into the mixture, because this presentation was too... fussy for my needs. I don't think I'll ever try another recipe again. Ever.Read more

Fabulous
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What great flavors - I added a bit of finely diced red onion to the mix. Spread on tablewater crackers - will have for Easter... brunch instead of the regular deviled eggs! Thanks for the great recipe!Read more
