This is NOT the egg salad sandwich I had as a child, it’s definitely the adult version. With crunchy celery, Dijon mustard, healthy parsley, smoky paprika and tangy goat cheese, the flavors and textures are plentiful.
As always though, the base of the egg salad is the nutrient rich egg. Eggs are loaded with high-quality protein, and vitamins and minerals.
One egg contains 6 grams of protein with all nine essential amino acids along with iron, vitamin D, potassium, zinc, vitamin E, folate and all the B vitamins.
Hard boiled eggs make a quick hunger satisfying snack too.
THE CRUNCHY EGGY REAL FOOD INGREDIENTS
Begin by chopping the peeled hard-boiled eggs. Use your preferred method for hard cooking the eggs or use mine by clicking HERE.
I like to use an egg slicer for chopping. First slice the egg one direction, then turn the egg and slice in the opposite direction. Add the chopped eggs to a small bowl.
Next, fine dice the celery stalks into small pieces, finely chop the parsley leaves, not the stems, and then add both to the bowl.
After that add the mayonnaise and mustard to the bowl, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and stir gently to combine.
Now toast the slices of whole grain or multi-grain bread and let them cool slightly. Once the toast is cool, spread each slice with a generous portion of goat cheese. Goat cheese is so creamy and tangy and is one my favorite things to spread on toast.
Top each slice of toast with the egg salad, dividing the contents of the bowl into four portions. Then, sprinkle lightly with the paprika.
Finally, cut the tomato into wedges and garnish each serving, and sprinkle the tomato with a little salt.
TIP: If serving for breakfast, a slice or two of turkey bacon would accompany the egg salad toast perfectly. If serving for lunch or dinner, a little chicken or turkey on the side would also be fantastic.
Eggs are considered a source of good quality protein. They also contain all the B vitamins and are rich in minerals.
