I had the most divine sandwich the other day. Egg salad on wheat bread but this was like no egg salad I've ever had before. The bread was moist and chewy, the egg was sliced not mashed with tons of mayo and there were some surprise ingredients that wowed me. I gathered my goodies and went to work creating this gorgeous sandwich.

Egg Salad on 12 Grain Bread

Ingredients:

2 slices of 12 grain bread

2 hard boiled eggs, sliced

2 slices of fresh, ripe tomato

1/4 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

1 teaspoon mayonnaise*

1/2 shallot or equal measure red onion - finely chopped

Parmesan Cheese sliced with a potato peeler

1 handful of fresh arugula

Salt and Pepper

Preparation:

Mix together the mustard, mayo and a pinch of salt and pepper and very gently fold the eggs into this mixture.

Create your sandwich as follows:

On one slice of bread place the arugula, top with the egg salad, a sprinkle of finely chopped onions, grating of cheese and the tomato. Add a grind of freshly cracked black pepper top with the other slice of bread, cut your sandwich and enjoy!

So utterly simple yet so delicious.

PS: Sorry for the horrid lighting on the picture. The flash washed the egg out so I decided against it all together and photographed it by candle light.

* I ran out of mayo and used Caesar dressing instead. It was good!

Enjoy the Delicious
