Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large eggs
1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1/3 cup roasted red pepper (from water-packed jar)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 tablespoon capers
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 slices whole grain bread, lightly toasted
4 leaves romaine lettuce

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a medium saucepan in a single layer. Add enough water to cover eggs by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and plunge them into an ice-water bath (to prevent further cooking). Shell the eggs and chop them into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine next 7 ingredients. Make sure to dice the red peppers and parsley. You also want to drain the capers.
  • Mix well. Add eggs and mix gently to combine. Spoon egg salad onto 4 bread slices. Top with lettuce leaves and second slice of bread.
