Egg Salad on Whole Wheat Toast is a simple, comforting meal that combines creamy, flavorful egg salad on top of toasted whole wheat bread. Perfect for a quick lunch, snack, or light dinner, this dish is both satisfying and packed with protein.

Ingredients

  1. 4 large eggs, hard-boiled
    2 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
    1 tbsp Dijon mustard
    1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
    1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
    1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
    1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced (optional)
    1/4 cup grapes, halved (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
    1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
    Salt and pepper to taste
    2 slices whole wheat bread
    Lettuce or spinach (optional, for extra crunch)

Instructions

Begin by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 9-10 minutes. Once done, remove the eggs from the water and cool them under cold running water or in a bowl of ice water.

  1. Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and fresh parsley (if using). Stir until everything is well combined.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Toast the whole wheat bread slices to your desired crispiness.
  5. Spread the egg salad generously on top of the toasted bread.
  6. Optional: Add a layer of lettuce or spinach for extra crunch and freshness.
  7. Serve immediately, or refrigerate the egg salad for later use.

Notes

  • Add extras: You can mix in ingredients like chopped celery, onion, or pickles for additional crunch and flavor.
  • Make it spicier: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to give the egg salad a kick.
  • Use different bread: Swap the whole wheat bread for sourdough, rye, or gluten-free bread if you prefer.
  • Make it creamy: For a richer egg salad, add a bit of avocado or use sour cream along with the mayonnaise.
