Webster's Egg Salad Sandwich

Our Very First Contributor!

6 large Eggs
1-2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip)
2 stalks celery, washed and chopped
1/2 bunch chives, chopped
A squeeze of lemon juice
S&P
2 small handfuls of lettuce
8 slices of whole grain bread, toasted


Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by a 1/2 inch. Bring to a gentle boil. Now turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for exactly seven minutes. Have a big bowl of ice water ready and when the eggs are done cooking place them in the ice bath for three minutes or long enough to stop the cooking. Crack and peel each egg, place in a medium mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, a couple generous pinches of salt and pepper, now mash with a fork. Don't overdo it, you want the egg mixture to have some texture. If you need to add a bit more mayo to moisten up the mixture a bit, go for it a bit at a time. Stir in the celery and chives. Taste, and adjust the seasoning - adding more salt and pepper if needed.
