Egg Salad Sandwhiches
My brother and I always make this when we’re starved, there’s no real food, and no one to make real food.
My mom had “a bite” of my late night sandwhich ritual and she was instantly HOOKED!
It’s no-brainer simple food that tastes good and it pretty cheap.
INGREDIENTS
6 hard boiled eggs
3 heaping tablespoons of mayo (full fat, if you’re going to live life right eat full fat things that are suppose to be full fat but eat them less often, duh)
salt and pepper to taste
2 slices of white bread or a fresh crusty roll
0.5 cups of spam or ham mini cubes (optional)
0.5 cups of onion and celery
DIRECTIONS
- Put your eggs into the pot and fill the pot with water, covering the eggs
- Boil the eggs on high heat for 24 minutes (Don’t overcook the eggs! They become rubbery and there will be a grey-greenish ring around the yolk of the egg)
- Once the eggs are hardboiled, run the eggs under cold water. Peel the eggs under running cold water
- Dice the eggs into small chunks
- In a large bowl, mix all the eggs and mayo together until the mayo has a yellow consistency from being mixed will the with egg yolks (you can also add mini ham cubes, celery and onion at this point). Mix gently being careful not to smush the egg whites. You want egg salad, not mashed eggs.
- Cool the egg salad in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight is best
- Once the egg salad is cooled, toast two slices of white bread to a golden brown color
- Slather a good dollop of egg salad on top of one slice of toast
- Salt and pepper to taste and slice the sandwhich diagonally
BON APPETIT!
We’ve also tried this recipe with potatoes and eggs to reduce the high cholesterol content from the egg yolks. It’s a different texture with the potatoes but definitely still delicious!
