Easter egg salad recipes

Bread ideas

Breads that go great with egg salad are homemade white or wheat, pita breads, buns of all types or bagels. Serve it in a bread bowl and surround it with crackers for something different! Any of these recipes also make nice tea sandwiches. Spread on slices of bread that you've trimmed off the crust and cut into squares or triangles.
