Steps:
- Cover eggs with cold water by 1 inch in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a rolling boil, partially covered. Reduce heat to low and cook eggs, covered completely, 30 seconds.

Peel eggs and finely chop.
- Stir together eggs and remaining salad ingredients in a bowl with a fork.
- Spoon egg salad onto bread and spread evenly. Top with favorite garnishes.
TARRAGON-CAPER EGG SALAD SANDWICHES WITH SMOKED SALMON
Steps:
- Mash eggs coarsely with a fork, then stir in shallot, tarragon, capers, mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste. Make sandwiches with rolls, egg salad, watercress, and salmon.
Tips:
- Fresh ingredients are key to a successful egg salad. Use the freshest eggs you can find, and make sure the tarragon and shallots are fresh and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be rubbery and tough, so be careful not to boil them for too long. Aim for a soft or medium-boiled egg for the best results.
- Mash the eggs gently. Over-mashing the eggs will make the egg salad too smooth and pasty. Instead, use a fork to gently mash the eggs until they are just broken up.
- Use a good mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in egg salad, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
- Add some extras. Feel free to add other ingredients to your egg salad, such as chopped celery, red onion, or pickles. You could also add a dash of Dijon mustard or horseradish for a little extra flavor.
