instructions
    1

    Start by boiling the eggs. Place 4 eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let them sit for 12 minutes.

    2

    After 12 minutes, carefully drain the hot water and rinse the eggs in cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs once they are cool enough to handle.

    3

    In a mixing bowl, chop the boiled eggs into small pieces.

    4

    Add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and a finely chopped stalk of celery to the bowl.

    5

    Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

    6

    To assemble the sandwich, take 2 slices of bread, add a leaf of lettuce on each slice, and generously spread the egg salad on top.

    7

    Top with the remaining bread slices. Slice the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
