Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 3 slices of bacon
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/8 tsp mild curry powder
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 8 slices white bread
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Recipe
- -Place eggs in a saucepan cover with cold water and simmer on low heat for about 15mins. Immediately drain and place hard boiled eggs in a bowl filled with ice water to cool the eggs down and peel the shell (This is an important step which prevents the greenish “ring” from forming on the surface of the yolk over time).
- -Chop the eggs and place aside.
- -Add bacon strips in cold frying pan and turn heat to medium-low, cooking this way allows as much fat as possible to be removed off the bacon without burning it. Turn constantly to cook both sides (if too much fat collects on the pan you will have to drain it). Depending on how thick the slices are the bacon usually takes 10-15 mins to get done. When finished place on paper towels and allow to cool down and then crisp up, the paper towel helps absorbe any excess fat. Crumble up and set aside.
- -In a bowl, combine chopped eggs,mayonnaise, mustard, black pepper and curry powder and mix together well. Stir in crumbled bacon bits and mix well.
-Toast bread slices. Spread egg salad on four pieces of bread and top with remaining bread. Serve. Eat. Enjoy.
(This makes 4 sandwiches)
Tips
To make an healthier option
-Ditch half the yolks, when making 6 eggs set aside 3 of the yolks.
-Substitute sliced whole wheat bread or 100% wheat bread for the sliced white bread.
-Instead of using mayonnaise, mix nonfat yogurt and low-fat mayo and use crumbled bits of turkey bacon.
-Making use of fresh vegetables also add great texture to the salad, you can layer lettuce, egg salad and tomato slices on bread before topping with another bread slice.
