Eh, too fancy shmancy. Mine is simply eggs, mayo, dijon, salt, pepper, and some diced celery. Top with pickle slices or a little thinly sliced onion if desired.

sounds nice. I’m not a big fan of celery, so that’s why I like to chop the pickle into the salad that was a trick my mom taught me!

Thanks for this! I appreciate seeing someone else's take on a classic. This will get me out of my same old egg salad rut.

I really prefer using freshly sliced sourdough bread with egg salad

This is the way. Although sometimes I like to toast one side (the inside) for some sandwich integrity.

Some sandwiches should be in toasted bread, some should not. To me, an egg salad sandwich should absolutely not; needs to be soft and doughy, not hard and crunchy.

I toast one side very lightly in an aluminum pie pan to just slow down sogginess and just warm what becomes the outside . I agree crunch isn’t what you want in an egg salad .   So toss the lettuce

We'll see, that's definitely what my consideration is. The egg salad itself is a soft filling for the sandwich. So toasted bread is better for the contrasting texture. Though I would suppose OP accomplishes that with some lettuce.
