Ingredients

For the Deviled Egg Salad

1 dozen hard-boiled eggs shelled
6 Tbsp mayonnaise 84 grams (see Notes)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard 15 grams
1 Tbsp yellow mustard 15 grams
2 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp prepared horseradish
½ tsp paprika
¼ cup chopped fresh chives

For the sandwiches

24 slices white bread 1 loaf, ends discarded

Instructions

Make the egg salad

Put the shells eggs in a large bowl. Use a potato masher to break the eggs up into bits.
Add the remaining egg salad ingredients and combine.

Assemble the sandwiches

On a clean surface, lay out 6 slices bread. Top each with 1/4 cup egg salad. Spread the egg salad (avoiding the edges if cutting off the crusts), and top each with a slice of bread.
Repeat with the remaining bread and egg salad.
Cut the crusts off the bread (see Notes), if desired. Cut each sandwich into 2 either diagonally or horizontally down the middle.
Stack sandwiches on a platter. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.

Notes

The serving size of 16 allows 1.5 individual (cut) sandwiches per person as a staring point. Then see the body of this blog post above for tips on how to adjust how many sandwiches (i.e. 1.5 vs 2 per person) to make.

I am providing the gram quantities for mayonnaise, Dijon, and yellow mustard because it is easier to measure by weight when cooking in quantity. Note that these gram values will adjust when the Adjustable Servings functions are used.
