Egg salad sandwiches remind me of 4th grade, which was a particularly memorable year for me. It was filled with California State history, a spelling bee I did not win (but came damn close!), and the first (and last) time I cheated on a test in school. These sammies are protein-packed, filling, and when you limit the amount of mayo, they are healthy too!
Ingredients 8 large eggs 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt 4 tsps Dijon mustard 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/3 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1/4 tsp paprika Directions 1. Place the eggs in a medium saucepan. (They should sit in a single layer.) Add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, remove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 8 minutes. | 2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a large bowl and fill the bowl with enough cold water to cover the eggs by a few inches. Gently crack the shells against the side of the bowl. Let the eggs sit in the water and in the refrigerator until cool, about 30 minutes. 3. When the eggs are cool, peel the eggs, rinse off any bits of shell, cut them in quarters, and place back in the large bowl. Using a potato masher or fork, mash the halves into small pieces. 4. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Adapted from The Incredible Egg. |
