History and Origin of the Egg Salad Sandwich
The egg salad sandwich was invented in 1762 shortly after the invention of mayonnaise in 1756. Therefore, eggs were easy to get and inexpensive. A genius mixed the two together, and served it on fresh baked bread. Alast, a show-stopper that has stood the test of time.
In addition, one of the earliest known printed recipes for egg salad for the egg salad sandwich was published in the 1896 edition of the Boston Cooking-School Cook Book written by Fannie Farmer.
