Air Fryer Egg Salad Sandwich
A deliciously warm and toasty egg salad sandwich made right in the air fryer. The Air Fryer Egg Salad Sandwich is a contemporary take on a classic that is creamy, cozy, and pleasantly crunchy. A rich, fragrant salad is combined with perfectly cooked eggs, then the mixture is sandwiched between bread pieces and air-fried until golden. The convenience and crispness that only an air fryer can provide are combined with vintage tastes to create a fast and filling supper.
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped chives or green onions (optional)
4 slices of bread (white, wheat, or sourdough)
1 tbsp butter (for spreading)
2 slices of cheese (optional)
Instructions:
Air Fry the Eggs – Place eggs in the air fryer basket and cook at 250°F (120°C) for 15 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and chop.
Make Egg Salad – In a bowl, mix chopped eggs, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, and chives.
Assemble Sandwich – Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Place egg salad on an unbuttered side, add cheese (if using), and top with another slice, buttered side out.
Air Fry – Place the sandwich in the air fryer at 370°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
Serve – Slice and enjoy your warm, creamy egg salad sandwich!
Tips for the Best Air Fryer Egg Salad Sandwich:
Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs – If your air fryer tends to overcook, try lowering the temp to 240°F (115°C) and cook for 13-14 minutes for slightly softer yolks.
Extra Creamy Egg Salad – Mash the yolks separately before mixing with mayo and mustard for a smoother texture.
Crispier Bread – Lightly press the sandwich before air frying for an even, golden crunch.
Customize It – Add diced pickles, a dash of hot sauce, or bacon bits for extra flavor.
Prevent Over-Browning – If the bread is browning too quickly, reduce temp to 350°F (175°C) and air fry a bit longer.
