Ingredients
Egg Salad
- 4 large eggs
- ½ stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 medium radishes, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped shallot
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Sandwich
- 4 croissants
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 curly lettuce leaves
- 2 thinly sliced radishes
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Prepare ice bath: While the water comes to a boil, fill a medium mixing bowl with water and ice to create an ice bath.
- Cook eggs off heat: Once the water reaches a boil, remove the pan from heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes to hard cook.
- Cool eggs: Transfer the eggs immediately to the ice bath and allow them to cool completely for about 10 minutes.
- Peel and mash eggs: Peel the cooled eggs carefully and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash the eggs with a fork until they break into small, even pieces.
- Mix egg salad: Add the finely chopped celery, radishes, shallot, and parsley to the mashed eggs. Stir in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Prepare croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Spread butter on the bottom half of each croissant.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place a curly lettuce leaf on the buttered croissant halves. Spoon the egg salad onto the lettuce, then top with thin sliced radishes. Close with the croissant tops.
- Serve: Serve the sandwiches immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
- To peel eggs easily, gently crack all over and roll under your palm before peeling.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the egg salad.
- Use fresh croissants for best texture; lightly toasting them can add extra crispness.
- Mayonnaise amount can be adjusted to preferred creaminess.
- These sandwiches are best enjoyed the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
