Toasted English muffins introduce delicate crunch and deep nooks that capture pockets of creamy egg salad, resolving the sandwich's typical one-note softness. Any store-bought or homemade English muffin will work, with a recommendation for Dave's Killer Bread. Kewpie mayo, made exclusively from egg yolks, provides rich, umami-forward moisture. Sandwiches on English muffins accept many toppings, including spicy chili oil crisp, basil pesto, or orange marmalade with coarse sea salt. Flavorful mix-ins such as curry powder, Dijon mustard, smoky paprika, or za'atar can enliven the egg salad. Simple swaps and additions transform a basic egg salad into a versatile, flavorful sandwich.
Egg salad sandwiches are a classic for a reason - if you can excuse their single infamous drawback, which is their one-note texture. When plush egg salad meets plush bread, it's super comforting, but arrives almost too soft in the mouthfeel department. Enter, the toasted English muffin. This bready beauty makes the perfect vehicle for a pillowy egg salad sammy, bringing delicate crunch.
The crispness of the muffin's edges delivers the textural juxtaposition classic egg salad needs. Plus, those deep nooks and crannies will catch pockets of the creamy salad, yielding a burst in every bite. Here at Tasting Table, we're digging the English muffins by Dave's Killer Bread, but any brand of store-bought ( or homemade!) English muffins will get the job done.
