Notes
Makes 4 sandwiches.Note: You may also add salt if desired, but I feel the mayonnaise adds enough flavor on its own that you do not need any extra salt. If you choose to add salt, do so sparingly in small increments.To serve egg salad on crackers for part of a brunch menu, use a quality cracker with a mild flavor such as butter, sesame, or wheat. Place a tablespoon of egg salad on each, top with 1 piece of sliced green olive and sprinkle with paprika. Place on a tray to serve for brunch or as a party appetizer.
