Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Roasted green chilies (diced)
- 2 stalks Green onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Sandwich bread (your choice)
- 4 leaves Butter lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, roasted green chilies, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until fully combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed.
To assemble the sandwiches, lay out the slices of bread. Place a leaf of butter lettuce on one slice for each sandwich.
Spoon a generous amount of the green chili egg salad onto the lettuce, spreading it evenly.
Top with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Optionally, serve with chips or a side salad for a complete meal.
