  2. Step 2: Mix the Egg Salad. Combine chopped eggs, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, mash and mix until combined.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Bread. Optionally toast the slices for extra texture.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches. Spread egg salad on 6 slices of bread, top with lettuce, radishes, and avocado.
  5. Step 5: Top and Serve. Place the remaining bread slices on top, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Egg salad can be made a day in advance; assemble sandwiches just before serving to prevent sogginess.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegan version, use mashed chickpeas or tofu instead of eggs.
