Luke placed 6 slices of white bread on a cutting board and spread a thin layer of egg salad on the first two slices. After that, he tapped a healthy dusting of sweet smoked paprika onto the egg salad.

Egg salad sandwiches and caviar might, at first, sound a little incongruous. The former is the picnic staple you might otherwise order at the bodega or the bagel shop.

Egg salad, when in sandwich form, is best with the softest and most plush bread you can find. I like to use brioche or classic white bread when making egg salad sandwiches.

Yet, despite my qualms with egg salad, I recently found myself asking my chef-husband Luke to make me his version of the best egg salad sandwich to see if he could change my mind.
