Ingredients

1x2x3x

• ▢ 4 Egg - hard-cooked, cooled, peeled and coarsely chopped

Instructions

• ▢
  Put the eggs in a medium saucepan and pour water till it covers the eggs. Bring it to boil over high heat and once boiling, reduce the heat and cook for 12 minutes on medium heat (12 minutes for large eggs 9 minutes for small/medium eggs; 15 minutes for extra-large).

  Let cool completely and peel the egg shells.
• ▢
  Transfer the peeled eggs in a bowl and mash with a fork. Try to mash egg whites into small, same-size pieces.
• ▢
  Add mayonnaise and Dijon mustard and mix until well combined. Season as desired (I just add oregano); stir gently to combine.
  
• ▢
  Evenly distribute the egg salad on one side of each bread slice. Put the other slice of bread on top.
• ▢
  Cut the sandwich in half and it’s ready to serve.

Notes

You can make the filling the day before. Leave in a bowl in the fridge until ready to use.

Variations:

Other optional mix-ins variations may include parsley, chives or green onions, basil, dill, garlic powder, paprika, walnut pieces, dried tomatoes, onions, ham, Honey-Dijon mustard, alfalfa sprouts, olives and capers.

This classic egg salad is delicious served between two slices of bread (white, whole wheat, brown or multigrain pumpernickel, pita bread or even tortillas) but it can also be served in a lettuce cup for a low carb/keto lunch.

Instead of spreading with mayonnaise, use butter, margarine, or pesto.

To increase the taste of this sandwich recipe, you can add greens and/or vegetables of your choice.

Is egg healthy?

The science is clear that up to 3 whole eggs per day are perfectly safe for healthy people. Eggs consistently raise HDL (the “good”) cholesterol. For 70% of people, there is no increase in total or LDL cholesterol.

If you enjoy eating eggs you may worry about harming your heart. Don't stress. If you're healthy, you can eat eggs guilt-free. With about 70 calories in one large egg, they're a great source of protein that helps stabilize blood sugar levels and provides structure to the body.
