- 0.5 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 small celery stalk
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 4 slices whole-grain bread
- 2 lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 9 minutes.
After 9 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery stalk and add it to the bowl with the eggs.
Add the low sodium mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, black pepper, and Dijon mustard to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Chop the fresh chives and fold them into the egg mixture.
Lay out the whole-grain bread slices. Place a lettuce leaf on two of the slices.
Spoon the egg mayo mixture evenly onto the two slices with lettuce, spreading it out to cover the bread.
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
