Creamy Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich

A quick and energizing breakfast featuring rich egg salad and vibrant green avocado layered between soft crustless white bread.

Ingredients

• 3 slices white bread
• 2 hard-boiled eggs
• 1 ripe avocado
• to taste mayonnaise
• to taste fresh lemon juice
• to taste sea salt
• to taste freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Trim the bread crusts

   

   Place a stack of three slices of white bread on a cutting board and carefully slice off the outer crusts using a knife. Removing the crusts gives the sandwich a softer, more uniform texture.

   Tip: Save the crusts to make homemade breadcrumbs or croutons.
2. 2Season the boiled eggs

   

   Place two peeled hard-boiled eggs inside a clear glass bowl, then sprinkle them with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt.

   Tip: Ensure the eggs are fully cooled before seasoning and mixing.
3. 3Add mayonnaise

   

   Squeeze a generous amount of mayonnaise directly over the seasoned hard-boiled eggs in the bowl to provide the necessary creamy binder.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of mayonnaise depending on how creamy you prefer your egg salad.
4. 4Mash into egg salad

   

   Use a metal hand masher to thoroughly break down the hard-boiled eggs and combine them with the mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mash until it reaches a rich, chunky consistency.

   Tip: Do not over-mash if you prefer a heartier texture with distinct egg chunks.
5. 5Slice the avocado

   

   Take a whole, unpeeled ripe avocado and carefully slice it in half lengthwise using a kitchen knife, cutting around the central pit.

   Tip: Rotate the avocado evenly around the knife blade to get a clean separation.
6. 6Add fresh lemon juice

   

   Place two peeled, pitted green avocado halves into a glass bowl and squeeze fresh lemon juice over them to enhance flavor and prevent browning.

   Tip: Lemon juice also adds a refreshing brightness that cuts through the richness of the avocado.
7. 7Mash the avocado

   

   Place the avocado halves into a bowl and use a metal masher to break them down into a bright green paste.

   Tip: Make sure the avocado is fully ripe so it mashes easily and smoothly.
8. 8Spread the avocado mash

   

   Take a slice of crustless white bread and spread the vibrant green avocado mash evenly across its surface using a spreader.

   Tip: Spread it close to the edges to ensure every bite has rich flavor.
9. 9Add the second bread slice

   

   Place a second slice of crustless white bread directly on top of the avocado layer to continue assembling the sandwich.

   Tip: Align the edges carefully so the sandwich layers stay neat.
10. 10Spread the egg salad

    

    Scoop and spread a thick, even layer of the prepared egg salad onto the second slice of bread.

    Tip: Distribute the egg mixture evenly to maintain a stable structure.
11. 11Top with final bread slice

    

    Place a third slice of white bread right on top of the egg salad layer to complete the assembly of the multi-layer sandwich, pressing down very gently.

    Tip: Press down very gently so the layers adhere without squishing the fillings out.
12. 12Slice the sandwich

    

    Take a knife and carefully cut the assembled three-layer sandwich in half diagonally to reveal the layers.

    Tip: Use a sharp serrated knife for a clean cut through the soft bread and fillings.
