Egg Salad Parmesan Sandwich

I find the Parmesan Cheese a little special touch in the standard egg salad sandwich.

Egg salad is part of an Anglo-American tradition of salads involving a high-protein or high-carbohydrate food mixed with seasonings in the form of spices, herbs, and other foods, and bound with an oil-based dressing. Its siblings include tuna salad, chicken salad, potato salad, ham salad, pasta salad, lobster salad, crab meat salad, etc.

Egg salad is often used as a sandwich spread, typically made of chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, minced celery, salt, and pepper. In the U.K., it is called egg mayonnaise. Egg salad sandwiches are an inexpensive way to feed a large group of people.

Makes 4 sandwiches: Budget $mart $2.89 per serving*

Ingredients

• 6 - hard boiled eggs, sliced in quarters

• 2 - celery stalks, chopped finely

• 1/2 - onion, chopped finely

• 1/2 - cup salad dressing (or mayonnaise)

• 1/2 - teaspoon Parmesan Cheese

• 1/4 - teaspoon salt

• 1 - tomato, sliced

• 4 - lettuce leaves

• 8 - bread slices, your choice of bread

Directions

1. Place the eggs, celery, onion, salad dressing (or mayonnaise), cheese, and salt into your mixing bowl.

2. Using your fork, mix the ingredients.   

3. However, you want your egg mixture coarsely chopped.

4. Now, take about a tablespoon egg salad and spread on a slice of bread, add 2 tomato slices, a leaf of lettuce and top with an additional bread slice.

Picnicking & Tailgating:

You want to wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap, place in a plastic container and keep in ice chest.  At the picnic or tailgate site, take out of ice chest just before serving.
