Ingredients
 

Egg Salad

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tbsp mayo
  • 2 tsp mustard I love to use Moutarde à l'Ancienne oder Dijon Mustard
  • ½ tsp ground paprika
  • ½ tbsp chives minced
  • a splash vinegar
  • salt & pepper

Egg Salad Sandwiches

  • 4-8 slices bread of choice
  • some garden cress or microgreens

Instructions
 

  • Place eggs in a small pot and cover with water. Put on the lid, bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let it sit for 10 minutes (set a timer). Run cold water over the eggs or place them in an ice bath until cool.
  • In the meantime, mix mayo, mustard, ground paprika, chives, and a splash of vinegar in a bowl. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
  • Peel the eggs and chop them into large chunks. Add to the bowl and mix well.
  • Either spread the egg salad on a slice of bread and top it with garden cress/microgreens (less carbs), or make sandwiches with it.

Notes

Keeps fresh for 3 days. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
