Ingredients

  • 4 slices prosciutto (about ¼ pound)
  • 8 eggs
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 2 teaspoons capers
  • 2 tablespoons kosher dill pickles, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon Chinese-style spicy mustard, divided
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 buns

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a half baking sheet with parchment paper. Place prosciutto slices on parchment paper in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, or until crispy, flipping halfway through.
  2. While prosciutto cooks, place the eggs in a medium pot and fill with enough water to cover the tops. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-high and cook for 10 minutes. While the eggs cook, fill a medium bowl with ice water. Transfer cooked eggs immediately to the bowl of ice water to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then peel and discard egg shells.
  3. Dice eggs and place in a medium bowl. To the bowl of eggs, add the mayonnaise, celery, capers, pickles, dill, 1 tablespoon mustard, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then set aside.
  4. To assemble the sandwiches, toast the buns, then spread about ½ tablespoon of mustard onto each side. Scoop ½ cup to ¾ cup of the egg salad onto the 4 bottom buns. Top each with 1 slice of crispy prosciutto and the top buns. Serve immediately.
