I have two important tips for your egg salad:
The most important tip here is to use fresh bread. Period. Nothing else qualifies for a good egg salad sandwich. In fact, you can ruin the best egg salad with some stale or low quality bread.
Other than that, the type of bread you use is really up to you. Rye bread can be mentioned as some kind of generally preferred type of bread for this sandwich, but really anything goes. You can even experiment with different types and find out what you really love in this recipe.
If you don’t have fresh parsley, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of chopped dried parsley in the salad instead. Or you can simply leave it out.
Make sure to chill your egg salad for at least 4 hours (overnight is preferred) before serving the sandwiches. You can prepare the salad 1-3 days ahead and keep it in the fridge. But only assemble the sandwiches right before serving.
For a more attractive presentation, cut your sandwiches in half before serving them. For no particular reason, half-cut sandwiches, especially if they are triangular shaped, tend to be more pleasing and appetizing.
