You can easily make the egg salad ahead of time and keep in the fridge. Make sure you keep it in a closed container. Then assemble shortly before you will serve it / the guests arrive. You can assemble the toast beforehand and keep it ready in the fridge if you want. However, the longer you let it sit the more the toast will get soaked and turn lumpy.
