Egg Salad Sandwich

I love egg salad sandwiches! There is just something about an egg salad sandwich for lunch on a sunny day, it makes me want to start a new book! That's right... most women want the beach and a margarita but I'll take a book and an egg salad sandwich any day (Justin says I am a 60-year-old woman trapped in a 28-year-old's body)!
There is a wonderful documentary I saw a couple years ago called "The Teachings of Jon". I've never seen it on TV since so I finally broke down and bought a copy. It's about Jon, a man with down syndrome who LOVES egg sandwiches. Ok... the documentary isn't just about egg sandwiches, here's the trailer. It's a wonderful documentary, I can learn a lot from Jon... not to mention he has great taste in sandwiches ;-)

Ingredients
6 eggs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon relish
pepper (to taste, optional)
lettuce (optional)
6 slices whole wheat bread

Directions
To hard boil eggs – Gently place eggs into a single layer in a sauce pan. Add just enough water to cover the eggs completely. Put on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Just as the water reaches a rapid boil remove from heat and tightly cover with a lid. Let the pan site for 17 minutes. Transfer eggs into a bowl with cold water. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes and peel.
Finely chop hard boiled eggs. Place chopped eggs in a medium bowl. Mix in mayo, 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix in mustard, relish and pepper. Put egg salad onto bread slices, top with lettuce. (Makes 3 Sandwiches)

Hey Carrie, your sandwich looks perfect! "I am a 60-year-old woman trapped in a 28-year-old's body" This is too funny, my husband says the same thing about me...I know exactly what you mean about the sandwich and a book!

What a touching ending! I haven't given egg salad a chance since I was young. I think it's time I whip up one to see what I've been missing. Thanks!

I totally agree Carrie, I LOVE a good egg salad sandwich, especially on dark whole grain bread...and a diet Coke on ice.

Every time I have an egg salad sandwich I realize how much I really enjoy them. I just need to remember to make them every now and again. Why is it that we tend to forget some of the delicious foods of an earlier time?

I love egg salad sandwiches too! I like to put sliced green onions in mine for a little extra crunch and flavour.

Your pic looks divine! This is definitely inspiring enough for me to start making lunches again instead of buying out every day.
