Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) water
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) cider vinegar
- 2 tsp (10 mL) sugar
- ¼ cup (60 mL) finely chopped celery
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) mayonnaise
- 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) black pepper
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) kosher salt
- 8 slices whole-grain bread
- 1 cup (250 mL) baby arugula
- 8 slices maple turkey bacon, cooked crisp
- 4 slices heirloom tomato
Instructions
- Step 1
Place your eggs in a single layer on the bottom of your pot and cover with cold water. The water should be about an inch or so higher than the eggs. Cover the pot with a lid. Over high heat, bring your eggs to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and let stand in water for 12 minutes for large eggs. Reduce the time slightly for smaller eggs, and increase the standing time for extra-large eggs. Drain water and immediately run cold water over eggs until cooled.
- Step 2
Place eggs in a large ice water-filled bowl. While eggs cook, combine 3 tablespoons water, vinegar, and sugar in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 2 minutes or until boiling. Add celery; let stand 15 minutes. Drain.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, combine avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring well until smooth.
- Step 4
Peel eggs; discard shells. Slice eggs in half lengthwise; reserve 2 yolks for another use. Chop remaining eggs and egg whites. Gently stir eggs, celery, and sunflower seeds into avocado mixture. Top 4 bread slices with about 1/2 cup egg mixture, 1/4 cup arugula, 1 tomato slice, 2 pieces of turkey bacon, and remaining 4 bread slices.
