Egg salad on bread is a simple open sandwich or snack made by chopping cooked eggs and mixing them with seasonings and, often, mayonnaise or another creamy dressing. It is enjoyed in many places rather than belonging to one specific food tradition, and the ingredients can be adjusted to taste.
The filling is soft and creamy, while the bread may be toasted for a little crunch or left tender. It makes a protein-containing light meal, with the bread adding carbohydrates and the dressing contributing much of the fat. For a lighter version, use less mayonnaise or choose a lighter dressing, then add chopped herbs or crisp vegetables and serve with a side salad.
