Ingredients

  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper black freshly ground
  • large boston lettuce leaves 
  • 0.3 cup mayonnaise fat-free
  • tablespoons spring onion thinly sliced
  • large hardboiled eggs 
  • 0.3 teaspoon lemon zest grated
  • tablespoons cream sour reduced-fat
  •  bacon cooked cut in half crosswise
  • inch tomatoes 
  • 1.5 ounce sandwich bread firm toasted
  • teaspoons dijon mustard 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • cutting board

Directions

  1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well.
  2. Cut 2 eggs in half lengthwise; reserve 2 yolks for another use. Coarsely chop remaining egg whites and whole eggs.
  3. Add eggs to mayonnaise mixture; stir gently to combine.
  4. Arrange 4 bread slices on a cutting board or work surface. Top each bread slice with 1/2 cup egg mixture, 2 bacon pieces, 2 tomato slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and 1 bread slice.
  5. Serve sandwich immediately.
  6. Beer note: A basic guideline of pairing a beverage with food is "like with like," and bread and beer are yeasty kindreds. With an Egg Salad BLT sandwich, reach for a Samuel Adams Pale Ale ($7). The bready yeast and malt flavors are balanced with bitter hops that add some welcome snap to the meal. A cold, characterful American pale ale is also a more thirst-quenching choice than wine. --Jeffery Lindenmuth
