I have news! I moved! Let’s celebrate my new backyard today with these Avocado Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches.
These are a fun finger-food goodie to include in your summer celebrations. Everyone loves a good egg salad sandwich, and it’s even better when you can pick it up and eat it in two bites! Adding avocado to egg salad is an excellent idea because avocado makes everything taste fabulous!
These sandwiches begin with perfectly hard-boiled eggs. I have a method I use that works every single time.
How to make perfect hard-boiled eggs:
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Then turn off the heat, cover the pan and let sit for 15 minutes. Transfer the boiled eggs to a bowl of ice water, then peel and they are ready for eating or using in recipes. Eggs that are one week old work better for hard-boiling than fresher eggs.
This avocado egg salad tea sandwiches recipe is made with the addition of avocado. I also add a little celery and mustard to crunch and flavor.
Probably many of you know that I have been living in the mountains between Reno and Tahoe for the last four years. We made a decision to leave the area, and now we are living in Scottsdale, Arizona! Our son is going to finish up high school here, and we are excited about our new adventure. Since we arrived, we have been celebrating our backyard every single day. If you hadn’t heard, Arizona is mighty warm in the summer months. Though I must admit, it’s not nearly as hot and awful as I thought it would be. Having a backyard with a pool, misters, and a covered eating area with fans really helps a lot!
Last weekend, we gathered as a family and took time to reflect on our move and celebrate our new adventure. I made these Avocado Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches for us to munch on while we hung out in the backyard. They are the perfect blend of delicious egg salad and a little crunch added in too.
Oh, and our dog… Tessie the Labradoodle… seems to love her new home so far. Fetching balls in the pool has been great fun for her.
The area we’re in is full of gorgeous sunsets and great restaurants. We hope to get involved in the community and meet new friends too. Moving can be a scary thing, but it’s also fun to explore and try something new. I hope you make these avocado egg salad tea sandwiches and enjoy them as much as we did!

Made this for lunch today and even hubby helped mash up the eggs and stir everything together. The cucumber & avocado just goes so well with the egg salad . Although, we added a little chopped onion. which really added something to it. You could also add a slice of tomato if you wanted on top of the egg salad……Lots of options with this sandwich.
It was Delicious ! 😋
Thank you Recipe Girl. This is a keeper!.
This looks great Lori, I never tried avocado and egg salad before, I’m sure I will love it since I like avocado toast with eggs on it…YUM, you hit it out of the park yet again….it’s madness….lol
Let me know how you like them!
I have been making something close to these lately but have left out the mayo completely. I have found that with mashed up avocado there is no need for anything else binding. Delicious!!
You can certainly do that- yum!
Congrats on you move. It sounds exciting. Last Sunday a couple friends and I had our birthday tea. Each year to celebrate our birthday’s with a tea celebration.
We rotate each year where we have our tea. We make sandwich’s of our choice, make scones and bring what we would like in our scones. This is the best scone recipe. It is a recipe from Princess Diana’s chef. We either have fruit, salad, or whatever. Then we go to the movies. After the movies we have dessert. We always enjoy our teas each year. The avocado egg salad sandwich would have been a great sandwich to take for tea. Maybe next. Love your blog and keep sending us recipes and information of you and your family.
That sounds like so much fun! Yes, save this one for your next tea!
