Let me start off by saying that I don’t like eggs. 🙂 At least, I don’t like eggs on their own. (scrambled, over easy…etc) But I know they’re good for me so I’ve been trying over the last year or so, to eat more. One way that I have actually been enjoying eating more eggs is by making egg salad sandwiches, or in my case, I prefer bunwiches!
Here’s my super simple three ingredient recipe:
Serves 1
- 1 hard boiled egg (good instructions on how to boil an egg can be found here)
- Mayonnaise (I use quite a bit because I want to disguise the taste of the egg 🙂 about 2 Tbsp?)
- a squirt of mustard (optional)
Once the egg is boiled, I smash it with a fork, then add the mayonnaise and mustard. Stir until it’s all well incorporated.
Serve on a bun or sandwich bread if you prefer! Serve with pickles. (Pickles made everything better, in my opinion!) One day, I might get adventurous and add some dill or something!
How do you like to eat your eggs? Do you have a food that you dislike, but you try to eat at least a little bit?
If one wants to cut down on mayo and can find good pricing on avocados, adding little bit of that good fat makes a nice addition to egg salad and adds to the creaminess. Greek yogurt can also work as well as a mayo sub, or a mixture of any of these 3 together. Chopped celery and onion (regular or green onion) are a must for me for some crunch (and a little bit of dried dill, chopped pickles or dill pickle relish for dill lovers) are nice too. I adore egg salad on fresh, buttered bread or buns with a lettuce leaf topping. I like it so much, I’ll hard boil about 6-8 eggs for the 2 of us. If it lasts, it’s even better after letting the flavours meld in the refrigerator for awhile.
I love egg salad sandwiches but they are the yummiest with alph alpha sprouts on them. A nice layer of them in place of lettuce. So good….you must try. And if you like the taste of sprouts it will do a great job of hiding the egg taste for you.
I try to eat whole grains. I would rather have the processed white bread with a ton of butter, but instead I make an effort to buy bread “substance”. *sigh*
Way to go! I’m not much of a bread eater myself, but I actually do prefer more whole grain breads because of the fact that there is more substance! 🙂
