Betty's Humpty-Dumpty Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe

In this video, Betty responds to a viewer request and demonstrates how to make a basic egg salad sandwich. Then Betty lists many variations that can be applied to this simple recipe!Ingredients:6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and finely chopped1/2 cup finely chopped celery1 tablespoon minced onion1/3 cup mayonnaise1 teaspoon honey mustardpaprika, to tastesalt, to tasteblack pepper, to tastelettuce leaves, washed, and dried with paper towelabout 8 Slices of bread (your choice--whole wheat, white, etc. I used Arnold Sandwich Thins, plus 100% whole-wheat bread for the two sandwiches that I demonstrated.)In a medium bowl, place 6 chopped eggs, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1 tablespoon minced onion, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon honey mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper, all to taste. Gently mix until combined. Toast the bread slices that you will be using. Place lettuce leaves on top of a slice of the toasted bread. Spread with an even layer of egg salad. Top with the remaining slice of toasted bread. This should make 4 to 6 sandwiches, depending on how thickly you spread them.Note: In order to make a gourmet egg salad sandwich, you may add 1/2 cup of any one of the following to your egg salad mixture. If you choose two, use 1/4 cup of each. I do not advise that you choose more than two add-ins, unless very carefully selected.chopped green pepperchopped red pepperchopped or sliced green oliveschopped or sliced ripe oliveschopped datesraisinschopped pecanssliced red or green grapescrushed pineapplechopped cucumberchopped green chilesfinely chopped raw broccoli or cauliflower floretspickle relishchopped sweet or dill picklesOther add-ins, not measured by 1/2 cups:crisp bacontender chunk hamtender chunk chickensliced American, Cheddar, or Swiss cheeseI'm sure you can come up with a lot of other things that you like, but this is a start! Be sure that you choose flavors that complement each other, as well as the basic egg salad. For example, you could add 1/4 cup sliced grapes and 1/4 cup chopped pecans, or you could add 1/4 chopped dates, and add a slice of Swiss cheese--experiment, but use caution!!! Good luck! I hope you enjoy this!!!--BG
