I love a big Easter dinner, and I love leftovers! But I can only eat leftovers a couple times before I’m completely over them. So every year I have to get creative with my Easter leftovers and turn them into an entirely different meal.
And that’s how the extra ham and hard-boiled Easter eggs at my house turned into this delicious ham and egg salad club sandwich. You’d never know it was made from leftovers, and isn’t that how it should be?
Most of my leftover Easter eggs get turned into deviled eggs, but I always save a few for recipes or snacks, so I chopped those up along with several slices of ham, some scallions, celery and roasted red pepper.
I tossed those into a large bowl along with the remaining ingredients and spices, and mixed them all up.
Add some Kraft mayo and you’re good to go! Like most egg salads, the amount of mayonnaise can be adjusted to personal preferences.
Now it’s time to make your club sandwich. Toast your bread, add some bacon strips, fresh tomato and lettuce greens. Stick some sandwich picks into the sandwich to hold it together, and cut it into fourths.
It’s a delicious way to use up Easter leftovers, so delicious in fact, that you might not want to wait for Easter to make it! Click here to see the complete recipe on Kraft in the Kitchen.

I don’t eat ham, but I’d go for an egg salad sandwich any day. 🙂 As for leftovers… since I don’t eat ham, we do usually do chicken and that tends to be nice in a sandwich too.
Heather says
That looks delicious! I love egg salad sandwiches! I love your spin on it!
Camesha says

toughcookiemommy says
I actually wish I had more leftovers from Easter to have done this. I love not having to cook again the few days after a holiday.
Chrystal @ YUM eating says
YUM! I love making salads with the leftover boiled eggs and ham. I chop it all up and put it in my salad. So good. And it helps with that overeating from holiday meals. lol
Kristin says
Mmmmm, I’m drooling! That sandwich looks SO delish!
Stacy says
My husband would love this recipe because he loves ham salad and egg salad. We do not have children so we don’t hard boil eggs, but since my husband is the only one that eats meat and he likes to make a big ham, he has ham left to eat for the entire week. He likes to make omelettes with his leftover ham once all of the side dishes are done. I will pass this recipe along to him because it would be a nice change for him.
Chrystal @ YUM eating says
Ham and cheese omelets are my favorite! My husband isnt much of a ham fan so when I am in the mood I just buy a small one.
Christie says
That’s a great twist on egg salad! I’m definitely needing some change to my Easter leftovers

I’ll eat holiday leftover until they are gone! But those awful stinky deviled eggs? They either don’t get made at all, or they all go to my husband. I’ve never been able to stand them!

I always have hard-boiled eggs (for deviled eggs and for dying) and ham on Easter. Thanks for a delicious sandwich idea for my leftovers! Sounds like a great lunch for today! 🙂
Natalie says
I have a bunch of leftover eggs and this would be a great and unique use for them!

Unfortunately I didn’t hard-boil any eggs this Easter and so I won’t make this particular salad for the sandwich, but it would be good (to me anyway) even without the egg salad!
Jenn says
This looks amazing! Great way to use up those eggs and a better way to jazz up ordinary egg salad. Im going to make this today.
Tea says
Thank you for sharing this…I have like 30 hard-boiled Easter eggs and I didn’t know what to do with them…till now:)
