Yoshi's Egg Salad Sandwich

Yoshi is just one of my favorite Mario characters!

Hope you like this ridiculously bomb sandwich! Perfect for the summer like weather us folk in CA are having!

**DISCLAIMER: NO UNBORN YOSHI'S WERE HARMED IN THE CREATION OF THIS SANDWICH!** 

Time: 20 Minutes

Level: n00b

Serves: 4

The Goods: 

6 hard-boiled eggs (Check out how to hard-boil eggs from my previous post HERE)
1/4 cup mayonnaise, (Extra if you like, for spreading)
1 teaspoon Dijon or spicy brown mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 avocado, halved, peeled, seeded and sliced lengthwise
2 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

3 teaspoons finely diced "spiced" onion

1 small jalapeno, diced (Or you can use jarred jalapenos, just chop them up)

½ teaspoon white wine vinegar

Shredded or chopped lettuce

1 tomato cut lengthwise

Potato Chips

Your favorite bread (I recommend getting cheddar jalapeno from the bakery section of the grocery store)

Tutorial:

Cut the dumb eggs in half and separate the white part from the yellow part (yolk).

Place the whites on a cutting board and coarsely chop. 

Place the yolks in a bowl and mash with the back of a spoon.

Toss the crumbled bacon, diced onion, and chopped jalapeno on top of the egg whites. Mix the ingredients together to make an evenly chopped mix.

Add the mayo, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the yolks and mash/stir until smooth.

Add the egg white blend to the yolk blend bowl and stir to mix everything nicely.

To make the sandwiches, pile shredded iceberg lettuce on the bottom sandwich slice. 

Spoon a heap of egg salad on top.

Top with sliced avocado, tomatoes, and potato chips!!!

Enjoy!
