Sometimes you need to balance out those game day wings, spinach dip and quesadillas with a lighter dish. So we are rounding up our Countdown to the Superbowl series with a healthier recipe: the best egg salad sandwich. But don’t just save this one for game day or other events you are hosting, this will make for a healthy and delicious breakfast or lunch choice any day!
You may think I am biased but personally, this is the best egg salad I have ever had!! This stuff is not too fancy, doesn’t have special ingredients, and is super easy to put together. In fact the idea is really simple: lots of chives and roughly mashed eggs that don’t shy away from mayo, in between baguette loaves! I would highly recommend seeking out a really good-quality, fresh crusty loaf bread for this sandwich.
