After a long day, we weren't quite sure what to make. Something quick and easy was a must, so we went with warm egg salad. If you've never tried egg salad warm, you are in for a treat. It would be a lie if we said that our first warm egg salad experience was intentional- it was really just because we were too impatient to wait for the eggs to cool. However, warm egg salad on a toasted bun is super simple, and definitely tasty. Feel free to chill your egg salad if you're freaked out- but trust us...warm is good.
Warm Dill and Arugula Egg Salad Sandwiches
Serves 2
2TBSP mayonnaise
1tsp dijon mustard
1 small bunch of fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste
6 hardboiled eggs- peeled
4 hotdog rolls- buttered on the outside
1/2 bunch arugula
bread and butter pickles as desired
In a large bowl, add mayonnaise, dijon mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Quarter your freshly peeled hard boiled eggs and add to the bowl. With a fork, mash the contents of the bowl together until the eggs are in small pieces and evenly coated in the mayonnaise mixture.
In a small frying pan, toast the hotdog rolls by placing them butter-side down until golden. Flip, and cook other side until golden. Remove from the pan, and line one side of the rolls with arugula leaves and pickle slices. Scoop the egg salad generously into each hotdog roll. Serve immediately.
Items You'll Need to Buy
1 jar of pickles: $2.99
1 jar of mayonnaise: $2.99
1 dozen eggs: $2.69
small bunch of dill: 1.99
12 hotdog rolls: $1.99
One of the great things about this meal was that we ended up buying enough ingredients to have this again. Not only were there enough eggs and hotdog rolls for us to have this again, but the other ingredients can be utilized long after. Since these ingredients will make at least 2 separate meals, we are cutting this cost in half! However, if we were making this for four people it would add up to about $12.65.
Total Cost of Meal: $6.32
