Tips For The Best Air Fryer Egg Salad Sandwich

Fresh Herbs: Nothing will elevate your egg salad sandwich better than using fresh herbs. I used fresh dill and fresh chives. But you can easily substitute with dried spices.

Mayonnaise: You can easily substitute it with ripe avocado if you don’t want to use mayonnaise. I would recommend smashing the avocado in another bowl and mixing it with the other ingredients. This will create a better texture for your egg salad sandwich.

How to Avoid a Soggy Egg Salad Sandwich

If you’re like me, you love a great egg salad sandwich. But if you’re not careful, your egg salad can turn out pretty soggy. Here are a few tips to help avoid that:

  1. Use firm eggs, preferably boiled or poached
  2. Chop the eggs into small pieces rather than mashing them
  3. Add mayo and mustard in moderation – too much will make your sandwich soggy
  4. Use crunchy vegetables or fruits like celery, apples, or grapes to add some texture contrast
  5. Use high-quality bread and toast it lightly before assembling the sandwich

Follow these tips, and you’ll be enjoying a delicious and fresh egg salad sandwich every

Peeling and Slicing Eggs for Egg Salad

I have generally not had any trouble peeling my eggs. If you have a hard time cracking them, gently tap them on the counter and peel the shell away from the egg.

If your eggshell is sticking to your egg, run them under water and peel them. I have noticed that fresh eggs are harder to peel than older eggs.

FAQ’s:

Why cook eggs in the air fryer?

I have been cooking eggs in my air fryer since 2017. They are the easiest way to make hard-boiled eggs, and you don’t even need any water. So, the next time you are looking to take a batch of hard-boiled eggs for the beach, a get-together, or want to have some on hand, pop them into the air fryer. You will not be disappointed.

How Long Does Egg Salad Last?

They will last for about 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. Over time the egg salad will start to wilt and won’t be as good as when you first made it. So cover it tightly with saran wrap, or place it into an airtight container.

Mix it well before you reserve it, and add some fresh herbs to brighten it up again!

What To Serve It With?

You can serve this with your favorite bread, and I enjoy using heavier bread such as an Artisan or Souroght bread. But you can also use whole grain, pita bread, or even a low-carb or gluten-free bread.

You can also serve it on top of a salad, which makes for a great summer meal (and healthy too)
