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.
Top up the sandwich with fresh cucumber and spinach leaves to add crisp freshness. Yup this sandwich is well balanced with fresh flavors and a texture that spans from rich and creamy to crisp and crunchy... what more could you want from a sandwich?
