Ingredients

6 eggs, hard boiled and peeled
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
Salt & Pepper
2 tomatoes, sliced
Red onion slices
4 lettuce leaves
Pickle slices
8 slices wheat bread

Place peeled eggs into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the mustard and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.

Toast the bread. Place 1/4 of the egg salad on one slice of bread. Top with the tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Top with sliced onion and sliced pickle. Finish with lettuce leaf and cover with remaining piece of bread. Enjoy!

Ingredients

3 hard-boiled eggs
4 spring onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives or 1 teaspoon dried chives (heaped)
1/2 teaspoon butter
1 tablespoon mayonnaise or allergy-free mayonnaise

Directions

Peel eggs and chop roughly.
Chop spring onions very finely and use most of the green. I used up till the leaves spread.
Throw the eggs, spring onions, and chives in a bowl. Mash thoroughly with a fork.
Add the butter and mayonnaise and mix.
Substitution information: Instead of mayonnaise I used Elimination Salad Dressing (http://www.recipezaar.com/162646) without the garlic or herbs.
The mayo is mostly to add moisture to the filling, so extra butter should work in a pinch.
