Let me take you back to 11 year old me. My family was having a friend live with us while he went to college in our town and he was basically like an older brother to me. He’s the reason I know even a smidgen about how to cut a guy’s hair and he’s also the one that taught me how to make this delicious egg salad sandwich. Yeah. I’ve been eating this bad boy for over ten years now and it never gets old! In fact, the other day, Zachary and I were complaining about how there wasn’t anything to eat in the house. He piped up and said, “what about an egg salad sandwich?” I immediately told him I would make it because I had an awesome recipe. I sheepishly smiled at him because we both know that he’s the better cook in the family and he countered by saying that we would both make it our own way and taste each of them and see whose was best. Let’s just say that I won. 😉 This sandwich is amazeballs!

How have a I never thought to put my egg salad on toast?! It always going on a bun. This would be so much better!
I’ve never tried making egg salad sandwiches with scrambled eggs before. It sounds like a quick and easy option instead of using hard boiled eggs. I’ll have to try it!
I cannot wait to try this!! I love egg salad sandwiches anyway…this looks over the top amazing!! And the pic just makes me want to take a bite!!! Thanks for sharing.
with scrambled eggs? hmmm….now you have piqued my curiosity.
I make mine with boiled eggs….a bit of mayo, mustard, sweet & dill relish both, some parsley, and some paprika….chop eggs and mix all together and put on toasted bread….I like a bit of hot sauce on mine too 🙂
Woah, what an awesome idea! I have always just used boiled eggs. I am totally trying this!
Oh my husband would love this with scrambled eggs! Great twist! 🙂
Would make a great breakfast sandwich. Bacon could also be placed on top of the egg salad! ❤️
I love this Sarah! Can’t wait to give it a try!
I do like to eat my egg salad on toast, but I have never scrambled the eggs for egg salad. Consider me very intrigued by this!!!
I always eat my egg salad on toast, but I have never scrambled the eggs. I am very intrigued by this idea!!!
I love this spin on egg salad! How unique. I’ve never had egg salad with scrambled eggs but now I really want to give it a try.
Great idea Sarah! I can’t wait to try it, maybe for breakfast:0)
What a great idea to scramble the eggs! I must try this!
YUM!! This would be the perfect sandwich for lunch today!
Never tried scrambled eggs for egg salad but great idea!!
I never thought to use scrambled eggs for egg salad but what a great idea!
Scrambled eggs? I’ve got to try this.
I grew up with chopped green olives in my egg salad, still make it that way. Just the right about of salty flavor whether eaten on toast or bun. Makes me want one for lunch. Mmmm
That’s interesting! I may need to try that. 🙂
This was terrific! Scrambling the eggs makes this such a quick meal. Thanks!
I’m so glad you liked it!! 🙂
Glad to see I’m not the only one that has never tried egg salad with scrambled eggs.
I know it’s totally different, but I love it more than with boiled eggs! 🙂
Had both ways and i favor the scrambled egg salad better if you have the SOFT scrambled …you will love it. my dh has always had it using the hard boiled (chopped small) but he just may start getting it my next time.! LOLOL
Mom always made hers with hard boiled egg’s, That’s what I used today, next time i’ll try it your way, with lightly scrambled eggs., we just called that a scrambled egg sandwitch
This was sooo good!! I never thought of scrambling the eggs for egg salad as I have always hard boiled them. But I really, really loved this version. I did skip the relish (I am not a pickle person! lol) and added some crumbled, crisp cooked bacon instead. So, so delicious!! Thanks so much for this recipe!
I love this recipe!! So much easier and the texture is easier to spread.
This is exactly how my mother made egg salad when I was growing up. In fact I was well into adulthood before I realized not everybody made it with scrambled eggs and most people use boiled eggs instead. I’ve tried both versions and still prefer this scrambled version.
I added shredded cheese after taken eggs outta pan before the mayo and mustard it’s melts just a little.. and good
