Smoked Paprika Egg Salad Sandwich on Whole Grain
2⁄3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon smoked spanish paprika (or sweet paprika)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 green onions, thinly sliced (green and pale green part)
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley
1 cup diced celery
8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing the bread slices)
8 slices whole grain or 8 slices whole wheat bread
1⁄2 small red onion, thinly sliced
fresh parsley leaves, for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Whisk together the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, white wine viengar, and smoked Spanish paprika in a large bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise mixture for brushing the bread slices.

Add the green onion, parsley, celery and eggs to the remaining mayonnaise mixture and gently fold to combine; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Brush the bread on both sides with some of the oil and grill on a grill or grill pan until lightly golden brown or place on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for 45 seconds per side. Brush the top of the bread slices with the reserved mayonnaise mixture lightly.

Divide the egg salad among the 8 slices of bread, top with slices of onion and a few parsley leaves. Serve open-faced.
