This Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe is high in protein, easy to make, and loved by both kids and adults! It’s the perfect way to use leftover hard-boiled eggs from Easter. Egg salad is a classic staple for every household and is great to enjoy at home or on the go.

I’ll be honest, I’d never even tried egg salad because I didn’t see the point. And really, how often are you even offered egg salad? For me, basically never! Then one day we went to a new sandwich shop and my husband ordered an egg salad sandwich. I was genuinely confused. We’d been married over five years and I’d never once seen him eat it. He said he’d always liked egg salad, he just never thought to make it. Interesting.

Then I got pregnant, got sick, lived on IV therapy for a while, and completely forgot egg salad even existed. Until this past week. And wow. It’s delicious. I love deviled eggs so why didn’t I think about trying egg salad? I’ve clearly been missing out. So consider this your sign. Try it for lunch, dinner, a snack, as a sandwich, on crackers, or in a wrap. However you eat it, just try it.

Ingredients for Egg Salad Sandwiches

There are a million egg salad sandwich recipes out there, but none of them are going to be as glorious as this one. These are the ingredients you will need:

  • Mayonnaise: It has to be Hellman’s. Trust me on this one.
  • Dijon or Yellow Mustard: I usually reach for Dijon, but yellow works just fine if that’s what you have.
  • Stoneground Mustard: Adds an extra layer of flavor and a little texture that makes the salad more interesting.
  • White Vinegar or Lemon Juice: The acid is key to getting the flavor just right and balancing the richness.
  • Fresh Chives: Bring a subtle onion and garlic flavor without overpowering the eggs.
  • Fresh Parsley: Adds a bright, fresh note that keeps the salad from feeling heavy.
  • Fresh Dill Weed: You can’t miss that classic dill flavor. It’s essential for a proper egg salad.
  • Kosher Salt: Season thoughtfully and taste often until it’s just right.
  • Black Pepper: Adds flavor with the tiniest hint of heat.
  • Hard-Boiled Eggs: Use your preferred method. We have posts for both stovetop and Instant Pot.
  • 7-Grain Bread: High quality is key so it can stand up to the creamy egg salad.
  • Green Leaf Lettuce: I love the crunch and the fresh, bright contrast it adds.

The measurements for each ingredient are listed in the recipe card at the end of the post. You can also save or print the recipe from there.

Easy Korean Bulgogi Beef Recipe (Better Than Takeout!)

Web Admin 0 7 Article rating: No rating

Easy Korean BBQ Beef Bulgogi recipe is a super delicious and easy recipe with the most flavorful marinade! The thin, tender slices of meat cook SO quickly that dinner can be on the table in the time it takes white rice to cook!

The savory beef combined with the sweet, gingery marinade is always a big hit. It’s time for Korean BBQ at home!

What is Beef Bulgogi?

So what is Korean Bulgogi? The word “bul” means fire in Korean, and “goki” means meat. So this is “fire meat!” That’s why we are going to slice it up thin and quickly cook at a higher temperature!

Ingredients for Korean Beef Bulgogi

A delicious Korean BBQ Beef Bulgogi needs only three things: a good cut of beef, a delicious marinade, and heat!!

  • Boneless Ribeye or Top Sirloin: Tender, marbled cuts that stay juicy and soak up the marinade beautifully.
  • Soy Sauce: The salty, savory base that gives bulgogi its deep umami flavor.
  • Brown Sugar: Balances the saltiness with sweetness and helps caramelize the beef as it cooks.
  • Sesame Oil: Adds rich, nutty aroma and authentic Korean flavor.
  • Garlic: Brings savory depth and that classic Korean BBQ punch.
  • Ginger Root: Adds warmth and freshness, balancing the sweet and salty notes.
  • Mirin: A touch of mild sweetness and acidity that rounds out the marinade.
  • Korean Red Pepper Flakes: Adds a gentle heat and a layer of smoky, complex flavor. You can also use gochujang.
  • Vegetable Oil: Neutral oil that helps with high-heat cooking and prevents sticking.
  • Sesame Seeds: Nutty garnish for texture, crunch, and extra flavor.
  • Green Onions: Freshness and brightness, balancing the richness of the beef.
  • Asian Pear: Natural tenderizer and subtle fruity sweetness that makes bulgogi uniquely delicious. It makes it extra authentic, but it’s totally ok to skip it as well.

What Cut of Beef for Bulgogi?

Ribeye has the most flavor and is my go-to choice, but sirloin, tenderloin, or skirt steak work great as well. The most important thing is to choose tender, marbled beef: leaner cuts like brisket or flank steak will turn out too tough so avoid those.

How to Quickly Cut Steak Thin for Authentic Beef Dishes

Cut the beef thinly against the grain to make it easier to chew, and marinate overnight. The marinade will tenderize the beef and it’ll turn out delicious over a charcoal BBQ. You’ll want to wrap in plastic wrap and freeze the meat for 20-30 minutes to get those extra thin slices!

How to Make Korean BBQ Beef Bulgogi

  1. Prep the Beef: Wrap the steak in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Unwrap the steak and slice across the grain in 1/4-inch thick slices.

Busy Day Sheet Pan Gnocchi and Sausage

Sheet Pan Gnocchi is one of those dinners that feels almost too easy for how good it turns out. This gnocchi and sausage sheet pan meal is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and loaded with savory sausage, garlicky goodness, and bright lemony flavor.

Everything roasts together in one pan, making it an easy, weeknight-friendly dinner that feels a little special without a lot of work.

I could happily eat this sheet pan meal on repeat. Like, twice a week on repeat. Unfortunately, the rest of the family eventually starts to notice and suggest we “switch it up.” So now I make it just often enough to keep everyone happy, while secretly wishing I could put it on the menu way more than that.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This easy meal fits perfectly on a single sheet pan, making both prep and cleanup a breeze. Just lay down a sheet of parchment paper, gather your ingredients, and you’re ready to get cooking.

  • Garlic: finely minced for bold, savory flavor.
  • Potato Gnocchi: pillowy pasta that crisps beautifully in the oven.
    • NOTE: Gnocchi is available at most grocery stores. Shelf-stable gnocchi can be found in the pasta aisle, or sometimes kept in the fridge in the deli section.
  • Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: helps everything roast and adds richness.
  • Kosher Salt: seasons the dish evenly.
  • Black Pepper: adds mild heat.
  • Lemons: zest and juice bring bright, fresh flavor.
  • Italian Sausage: adds hearty, savory depth, mild or spicy, both work.
  • Broccolette: tender greens with slight bitterness for balance.
  • Parmesan cheese: salty, nutty finish. Feel free to omit to keep dairy-free.
  • Aleppo Pepper or Red Pepper Flakes: gentle heat to finish.

Ham and Cheese Quesadilla

Web Admin 0 15 Article rating: No rating

The crispy golden tortilla of this Ham and Cheese Quesadilla contains gooey melted cheese and warm slices of savory, deli meat. Each bite is a satisfying blend of classic flavors, making this an easy choice. And, I should know! I choose quesadillas more than just about anything else when it comes to lunchtime.

A ham and cheese quesadilla has been sliced and is ready to eat, served on a wooden board with a side of dip!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after making hundreds of quesadillas, it’s that once you understand the method, you can riff on it pretty much forever. And, since I love ham and cheese (ahem, ham and cheese biscuits), it was just a matter of time. I’m happy to report that this irresistibly crunchy quesadilla absolutely nails the classic combo that I love.

Ham and Cheese Quesadilla

I’ll be honest. Some days, I don’t want trendy flavors. And, when I’m just in the mood for something reliable, ham and cheese is a combination that always delivers. It feels like comfort food, with almost no effort at all.

I also love how approachable this quesadilla is. Not everyone has cooked chicken, leftover steak bites, or a batch of caramelized onions waiting in the fridge. But, almost everyone has some version of ham and cheese in their deli drawer. This one proves that even a beginner cook can transform simple ingredients into an absolutely mouth-watering lunch or snack. Try it and see!
