Ingredients

Eggs - 12

Mayonnaise - 12 cup

Whole-grain mustard - 2 tsp

Dill - 3 sprigs

Seven grain bread - 8 slices

Smoked salmon - 8 oz

Prep

Dill - mince

Instructions

Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cool tap water. Bring the water to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the eggs to sit in the water for another 5 minutes. Drain, then fill the pot with cold water. To peel the eggs, tap each end on a board and then roll the egg between your hand and the board to crackle the shell. Peel under running tap water and allow the eggs to cool to room temperature.

Place the eggs in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade or combine by hand. Pulse the processor 10 to 12 times to break up, but not puree. Transfer the chopped eggs to a bowl and add the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, 1 tsp kosher salt, 12 tsp pepper. Combine lightly with a fork.

Toast or gill the slices of bread. Lay one slice of salmom on each piece of bread, spread the egg salad on top. Serve at room temperature.
