Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 piece ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, finely chopped)
- 4 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cool, peel the eggs and set them aside.
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Roughly chop the peeled hard-boiled eggs and add them to the mixing bowl with the avocado.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and optional fresh chives to the bowl. Gently mash and mix the ingredients until well combined but still slightly chunky.
Lightly toast the slices of bread if desired. You can spread butter or margarine on the toast for extra richness (optional).
Divide the egg and avocado mixture evenly between two slices of bread, spreading it out to cover the surface. Top each with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Slice the sandwiches in half, serve immediately, and enjoy!
