Ingredients
6 large eggs
3 tbsp water
3 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tsp sugar
¼ cup finely chopped celery
1 ripe avocado, mashed
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
8 slices whole-grain bread
1 cup baby lettuce leaves
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp
4 slices tomato
Directions
- Place the eggs in a single layer on the bottom of a pot and cover with cold water. The water should be about 3-5 cm or so higher than the eggs. Cover the pot with a lid. Over a high heat, bring your eggs to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and let stand in water for 12 minutes for large eggs. Reduce the time slightly for smaller eggs and increase the standing time for extra-large eggs. Drain water and immediately run cold water over eggs until cooled.
- Place eggs in a large ice water-filled bowl. While eggs cook, combine 3 tablespoons water, vinegar, and sugar in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 2 minutes or until boiling. Add celery; let stand 15 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, combine avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring well until smooth.
- Peel eggs; discard shells. Slice eggs in half lengthwise; reserve 2 yolks for another use. Chop remaining eggs and egg whites. Gently stir eggs and the celery into avocado mixture. Top 4 bread slices with about ½ cup egg mixture, 1/4 cup lettuce leaves, 1 tomato slice, 2 pieces of bacon, and remaining 4 bread slices.
