What else could I add to my sandwich?

I would never stop you from putting cheese on anything. Some greens might also be up your alley. Watercress is a popular choice.

What's the best kind of bread to use?

If I could get it, I would use potato bread. I think you definitely want a softer bread here, though. If you try to put egg salad on a baguette, it will just all squish out while you try to tear through the chewy bread with your teeth. If seedy bread is more your style, that would be good, too. I tend to just use whatever sliced sandwich bread is hanging around.

Ingredients

Scale

6 large eggs
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons mustard
1 teaspoon dried dill 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Dash of cayenne
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
6 slices of bread

Instructions

Put your eggs in a medium sauce pan and cover with water. Place over high heat and boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully pour out the hot water and run cold water over your eggs to cool them quickly. I usually cook my eggs ahead of time and park them in the fridge for a while until I'm ready.
Scissor your bacon into a large skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until you've reached desired crispiness. The crispier the better, in my opinion. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Carefully peel each egg, chop them into chunks, and drop them into a medium size mixing bowl.
Add remaining ingredients. Feel free to glance around your spice rack and fridge, adding bits of all the things you love. Stir everything together gently.
Pile your egg salad onto soft bread and be happy.
