Egg Salad Sandwich

If you've been wondering why there have been no updates here for a while now, its because we were on a week's vacation to Alaska...the best place I've been to yet! It was one amazing vacation with a lot to see. The weather was perfect throughout the trip and Mother Nature was at her shiny best. We got back on Saturday and its taking me forever to get over the 4 hour jet lag. I just about finished unpacking yesterday and had to get cooking right away for waiting customers.

I made this a couple of weeks ago before we went on the vacation. Every evening hubby and I need something to munch on to satisfy 'that too early to eat dinner' hunger. The first time I had an Egg Salad sandwich was at a friend's, who is into very simple cooking.

There is really not much to an Egg Salad Sandwich, really! It comes together in a jiffy making it perfect for lunch in a hurry or a snack.

You will need:

4 hard-boiled eggs, shelled

2tbsp low-fat Mayonnaise

2 tbsp finely chopped celery

Salt and pepper

A few pinches Paprika

4 slices of bread (white/wheat), toasted

Place eggs in a small bowl. With the help of a fork, mash the eggs into tiny bits. Stir in the mayo, celery, salt and pepper. Mix well, check for seasoning.

Spread the egg salad on toast, sprinkle with paprika and top with another toast.

It’s as simple as that! This is a great way to use up leftover boiled eggs. You can top the egg salad with tomato slices and/or lettuce too.

Thanks to all of you who stopped by my Daring Bakers post, I still haven't had a chance to read your comments.. will get down to it soon.
