Instructions
Making the Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich is straightforward. Just follow these steps to create this delightful dish:
1. Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Then, cool under cold running water and peel.
2. Prepare Avocados: While the eggs are cooling, slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
3. Mash Avocados: Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocado until creamy but still slightly chunky.
4. Chop Eggs: Chop the hard-boiled eggs to your desired consistency (some prefer larger pieces for texture).
5. Mix Ingredients: Add the chopped eggs to the mashed avocado, then mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs. Stir gently until combined.
6. Toast Bread: If desired, lightly toast the slices of bread for added crunch.
7. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread a generous portion of the avocado egg mixture on one slice of bread. Add lettuce leaves if you like, then top with another slice of bread.
8. Slice and Serve: Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
