How to Make Egg Salad Sandwiches With Roasted Red Peppers And Capers

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan in a single layer. Add enough cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge them into an ice-water bath to stop the cooking process.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, gently peel and chop the eggs into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  5. While eggs are cooking, dice 1/2 cup roasted red peppers and chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley.
  6. Drain 2 tablespoons of capers.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  8. Gently fold in the diced roasted red peppers and drained capers.
  9. Add the chopped eggs and mix gently to combine.
  10. Spread the egg salad evenly onto 4 slices of whole-grain bread.
  11. Top each with lettuce leaves and the remaining bread slices.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
