Instructions

Hard boil the egg; placing the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by a 1/2-inch. Bring water to a very gentle boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for exactly (in pot) 12 minutes. After the time has passed place cooked eggs in a bowl of ice water ready until ready for use.Crack egg and peel shell off. In a medium mixing bowl, place eggs in bowl and smash with a fork. You want chunks of both yellow and white. Do not over mash.

Add mayonnaise starting with 1 teaspoon. If you want more, go ahead and add, although I am a less mayonnaise type of gal.Use the mayonnaise just enough to get the eggs to stay together.

Mayonnaise

Egg

Add salt and pepper as you prefer. I prefer to add salt, (1/8 teaspoon coarse salt to taste). I prefer lots of pepper too however; you chose what you like best. I start with 1/8 teaspoon and go up from there.Gently add celery and basil or chives if using.Toast bread until medium dark. I place one or two lettuce leaves on toast (dry) then top with egg and bean sprouts. I don't use mayonnaise or anything on either side of toast, again your preference here. I really like the egg salad to shine through and not be overtaken by more mayonnaise or butter.Top with lid, mash down a bit, and take a deep bite. Oh yum!
