I am going eggless, but an eggy breakfast for my family



I am going eggless for sometime now and I hope it is only for a lil while. Until then, I am resisting my temptation and still making some awesome eggs for breakfast on Saturdays for Avi to give him a break from his 6 week cereal breakfast.

Egg is a wonderful source of protein and more than that, such a wonderfully subtle ingredient in the mornings that you can easily manipulate them into a thousand variety of dishes and that too most of them can be made in a jiffy.  Yes, that's the wonderful egg for you.

Well, all though I am in an egg abstinence mode, I just can't restrain myself from making them for breakfast for Avi just to see him to roll and then close his eyes while chewing in slow motion and then saying, "hmmm...."

I love the an egg-celery sandwich. It was healthy, quick and totally yumm....

Traditionally the recipe involves mayo, but I add yogurt based salad dressing or light mayo.


Egg-Celery Sandwich

 Serves-1-2 people
Makes:- 2 sandwiches

Ingredients:
2 hard boiled eggs
1 tbspn of finely chopped celery
pinch of pepper
4 bread slices
Light yogurt based mayo (healthier than mayo)
pinch of salt (if needed-optional)
coriander or lettuce to dress the sandwich.
Butter for the bread- (optional-I avoided it as mayo is enough to make the sandwich greasy)

Method:-
Butter the 2 bread slices (can avoid it).
Dice the boiled egg into 1/2 inch pieces. Take the yolk pieces and mix well with the mayo/mayo substitute. Make sure the yolk totally breaks down so that you can hardly see the yolk chunks.
Now add in the white pieces, chopped celery, pepper and salt.
Add the lettuce or coriander on the bread. Layer the mixture on a slice of bread and seal the sandwich with the other slice of bread.
Enjoy!
