This Best Egg Salad Sandwich combines creamy boiled eggs and ripe avocado with fresh spring onion, dill, and lemon juice for a burst of flavor. Crispy bacon adds a savory crunch, while perfectly toasted ciabatta provides the ideal base. Easy to prepare and customizable, this sandwich is a delightful blend of textures and tastes, making it an irresistible comfort food favorite.
Place 2 eggs in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, let the eggs cook for 10 minutes.
Transfer the boiled eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
While the eggs are cooling, finely chop the spring onion and dill.
Cut the avocado in its peel horizontally and vertically, creating a grid pattern. Use a spoon to scoop out the diced avocado.
Peel and halve the cooled eggs. In a mixing bowl, combine the halved eggs, diced avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, chopped spring onion, and chopped dill.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix until the ingredients are well combined, creating a creamy and flavorful egg salad.
Slice the ciabatta bread in half horizontally. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Fry the ciabatta halves until they are golden brown and crispy, adding a delightful texture to the sandwich.
Spread the egg salad mixture evenly on both halves of the toasted ciabatta.
On one half, place the remaining boiled egg in the center and arrange the bacon slices around the egg in the shape of a square.
Place the other half of the ciabatta on top, pressing gently to secure the sandwich.
