On a budget? Upgrade your lunch with this grown-up egg salad sandwich.
“Eggs are an excellent source of protein, vitamin D, and choline—an essential nutrient,” says Julie Andrews, R.D.N., a recipe developer based in Appleton, WI. “Plus, they’re super affordable, making them the perfect main ingredient for so many dishes,” explains Andrews.
And since egg salad can be a bit bland, dress it up with whole-grain mustard, sourdough bread, and bacon.
Opt for turkey bacon and avocado (instead of mayo) to make this a bit healthier.
