Ingredients
- 5 Boiled Eggs
- 95g Plain Greek Yogurt
- 10 Dill Pickles
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp Ghee Butter
- 2 Fresh Tomatoes
- 6 Lettuce Leaves
- 4 Slices Sandwich Ham
- 4 Slices Thin Whole Wheat Bread
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, we’ll make the filling for the sandwich. Take 5 boiled eggs, peel them, and place them in a bowl. Use a fork to mash the eggs finely until there are no large lumps. Mashing the eggs while they are still warm will make them even smoother.
Step 2
Add 95g of plain Greek yogurt to the mashed eggs. Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise results in a much healthier and cleaner taste.
Step 3
Finely chop 10 dill pickles and add them to the mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. Mix everything together thoroughly. This itself is a delicious egg salad!
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the fresh vegetables to add brightness to the sandwich. Remove the stems from 2 tomatoes and slice them thinly. Cut 6 large lettuce leaves in half to fit the size of the bread slices. They will add a wonderful crispness.
Step 5
For the bread, we’re using 4 slices of thin whole wheat bread. These are thinner than regular sandwich bread, making the sandwich less heavy, and being whole wheat, they offer a healthier option.
Step 6
Now it’s time to toast the bread. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of ghee butter in a heated pan. The buttery aroma will add a delightful flavor to the bread. (If you don’t have ghee butter, regular butter or olive oil can be used.)
Step 7
Once the butter is melted, place 2 slices of bread in the pan and toast them until golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally to ensure even coloring. Crispy bread significantly enhances the sandwich’s texture.
Step 8
To assemble the sandwich, lay a piece of plastic wrap on your work surface and place one slice of the toasted bread in the center.
Step 9
Spread half of the prepared lettuce evenly over the toast. This will add a refreshing crunch that enriches the sandwich’s overall taste.
Step 10
Now, generously spread half of the prepared egg salad mixture over the lettuce. The combination of creamy eggs and Greek yogurt will be incredibly delicious.
Step 11
Arrange one sliced tomato on top of the egg salad. The tomato’s freshness will cut through any richness, further enhancing the sandwich’s flavor profile.
Step 12
Finally, add 2 slices of thinly sliced sandwich ham. The savory notes of the ham will contribute to the overall deliciousness of the sandwich.
Step 13
Now it’s time to close the sandwich. Carefully place the other slice of toasted bread on top to complete the sandwich structure.
Step 14
And the final step! Wrap the sandwich tightly with the plastic wrap to keep everything in place, then slice it in half for easy eating. Two delicious Greek yogurt egg sandwiches are now ready. Enjoy them as a healthy and satisfying meal!
