BOILED EGG SANDWICH

 The boiled egg sandwich is a sumptuous breakfast recipe of bread sandwich with hard boiled egg and oil free eggless mayonnaise. The combination of these two yields a lucious creamy filling in between two bread slices. EGGS are among the healthiest foods you can eat.

They are rich in:

* High-quality protein.

* Healthy fats.

* Many essential vitamins and minerals.

* Eggs can help you lose weight because of their high protein content, which keeps you full longer.

* That protein may also slightly increase your metabolism, which can help you burn more calories.

* If you want to lose weight, eat eggs as part of a healthy breakfast with fruits and vegetables.

Healthy egg salad sandwich served on wheat bread/ multigrain bread. Here I have used multigrain bread. The classic egg salad is made with hard boiled egg, mayonnaise, chopped onion greens (chives ), finely chopped capsicum, finely chopped celery or coriander stems, curry powder and black pepper. If you do not prefer/ like mayonnaise , substitute it with hung curd or Greek yogurt.Greek yogurt  has lower calories, lower fat and higher protein making it very diet friendly. Plus it’s super creamy, so it creates a rich consistency that we all know. A dash of pepper give the peppy taste to your sandwich.  The curry powder used in the egg salad give your simple egg salad a special zing and gentle spicy lift. The chives and celery gives the egg salad a nice crunch, which is so good. The egg salad is quick and easy meal option and  can be used in a sandwich, in a tortilla wrap, with a side of crackers or in lettuce cups. It’s inexpensive and easy to make. It turns out creamy and delicious every time! You can make it a day ahead if you want to pack it to eat on the go! So do try this easy no oil, ready in just 5 minutes sandwich recipe. Classic egg salad sandwich is the comfort food of and one of my favorite breakfast/ lunch.

NOTES : *This recipe is for a one egg sandwich and makes only one sandwich. 

* If you would like more egg salad in your sandwich, or if you are making more sandwich, you can easily scale up this recipe.

* Using perfectly boiled egg is very important to make great tasting salad. Avoid overcooking the eggs as it affects on the taste and texture of the salad. 

* The egg salad filling can also be prepared up to a day ahead and kept refrigerated. Wait to assemble your sandwich until just before eating.

* To avoid a soggy egg salad sandwich, make your sandwich by laying a piece of lettuce over the toast, adding the egg salad, layering another piece of lettuce, and topping with the bread. 

* A typical egg salad demands for mayonnaise as it gives a creamy texture to the salad. Here I have used homemade oil and egg free mayonnaise. I will update the recipe soon on my blog.

* If you don't like / prefer mayonnaise, then you can substitute with low fat hung curd / Greek yogurt.

* Fresh herbs like celery, chives go well in this recipe. However, what is available locally, you can use it. 

* I don't have celery, so I have used coriander stems.

* You can add veggies of your choice or available with you.

* Black pepper is used for heat but you can substitute it with chilli flakes.

* Feel free to stir in some different seasonings, such as smoked paprika or Italian seasoning for an additional flavor boost.
