- Some days, all I want to have for lunch
is an awesome sandwich.
And this recipe for avocado egg salad sandwich
is one of my favorites because it has a creamy texture,
lots of protein from the eggs.
Let me show you how it's made.
It all starts with one avocado.
You wanna make sure that it's ripe.
Sometimes it's got a little bit of bruising in it,
not a big deal,
it's going to get mixed up.
So, in our bowl.
So I'm going to take my spoon,
and take the avocado meat right into the bowl.
You do want the avocados to be kinda ripe
so they're soft enough to use your fork
and mush it up, mash it up.
Mash it up.
Turns into mush,
but you want to mash it up.
So with a fork, I'm just going to,
again, press it down.
I like a few chunks in my avocado salad,
but the avocado itself,
it's what's going to give this,
that creamy texture
in your salad.
So if your grocery store has avocados on sale,
stock up, make the salad,
make my easy guacamole recipe,
which I'll also link below this video.
I love avocados on everything.
Now that we have our avocado mostly mashed up.
Let's give this a mix right there.
Here, I have hard boiled eggs.
I have an epic video
on how to make perfectly easy to peel hard-boiled eggs
on this channel, which I'll link below.
But I also have a video where I tested
all the methods that everyone always talks about
on how to peel them the easy way.
So I've got six of them that I peeled off camera.
And I'm just going to use one of these things.
Let me know in the comments if you own one of these things
it's one of those like egg cutters
that my grandmother owned,
and it's in my drawer and I don't always use it,
except when I'm making egg salad.
because obviously you could chop it up.
But I feel like so many of us
have one of these and never use them.
So it goes in the salad bowl.
If you're wondering how far ahead of time
can you make this avocado egg salad,
because of avocados, as you know, always brown.
The short answer is that, well,
I usually make this in the morning
and eat it for lunch that day,
or right before I eat lunch.
This recipe is for four servings or four sandwiches.
So you could always like,
have more avocado, less eggs, et cetera.
But the point is,
is that no matter what you do,
even if you add some lime juice in here,
it will brown.
But I feel like between two slices of sandwich bread
it's really not a big deal.
Not all avocados are about the same size,
my avocado wasn't really big,
so I think I may stop at four eggs, and yup.
If you have lots of avocado,
like your avocado meat has a lot of meat in it,
you may want all six eggs, but again,
this is an avocado and egg salad.
So that's kinda where we are.
I have some yellow mustard that I'm going to add.
I love mustard.
I have five cookbooks,
but if I could write a cookbook on mustard,
I'm pretty sure I would.
It's one of my favorite condiments.
And some Greek yogurt or mayo,
whatever you normally use to make your salads.
You're also using it to bind everything up.
A pinch of salt,
because I feel like it kinda needs it.
A little bit of black pepper.
(milling pepper)
And we'll stir it up.
And once you incorporate the mayo or Greek yogurt,
either way is fine.
You're gonna see that, it really turns into sort of,
like that salad mixture that we're all used to,
kinda like egg salad or tuna salad.
But this is a really great alternative for lunch.
So here, I have just two pieces
of my favorite sandwich bread.
And I wanna take my spoon and load it up.
Just like that.
All I do is close my sandwich.
Let's give it a slice.
And let's check it out.
Look, guys.
The creamy avocado,
the little chunks of cooked hard-boiled egg.
This is such an easy and simple recipe,
and one of our Meal Plan Member Favorites.
So if you have no idea
that you can incorporate dinner recipes into lunch,
like if you have taco night,
and now you have extra avocados into this kind of lunch.

I'll make sure that you grab one
