Egg Salad Parmesan
Sandwich
I
find the Parmesan Cheese a little special touch in the standard egg salad
sandwich.
Egg salad
is part of an Anglo-American tradition of salads
involving a high-protein or high-carbohydrate food mixed
with seasonings in the form of spices, herbs, and other
foods, and bound with an oil-based dressing. Its siblings
include tuna
salad, chicken
salad, potato
salad, ham
salad, pasta salad, lobster salad, crab meat salad,
etc.
Egg
salad is often used as a sandwich spread, typically made
of chopped hard-boiled
eggs, mayonnaise,
mustard,
minced celery,
salt,
and pepper.
In the U.K., it is called egg mayonnaise. Egg salad
sandwiches are an inexpensive way to feed a large group of
people.
Makes 4 sandwiches

Directions:
-
Place
the eggs, celery, onion, salad dressing (or
mayonnaise), cheese, and salt into your mixing bowl. Using
your fork, mix the ingredients.

However,
you want your egg mixture coarsely chopped. Now,
take about a tablespoon egg salad and spread on a
slice of bread, add 2 tomato slices, a leaf of lettuce
and top with an additional bread slice.
You
want to wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap, place in a
plastic container and keep in ice chest. At
the picnic or tailgate site, take out of ice chest just
before serving.
