Ingredients

Avocado Egg Salad

  • 2 avocados
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper

Bread

  • 8 slices pumpernickel bread

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut the avocados and hard-boiled eggs into small cubes and place them together in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the Salad: Add sour cream, chipotle chili powder, crushed red pepper, hot sauce, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Gently mix all ingredients until you reach a slightly chunky consistency that holds together well.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Divide the avocado egg salad evenly into 4 portions. Spread each portion evenly over 4 slices of pumpernickel bread.
  4. Top and Trim: Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top of the salad-topped slices. Cut off the crusts or ends of the sandwiches for a neat appearance.
  5. Cut into Tea Sandwiches: Slice each sandwich into 3 small tea sandwich-sized pieces. Serve immediately for best freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture that holds well in the salad.
  • Hard boiling eggs: Place eggs in boiling water for 9-12 minutes, then cool in ice water to peel easily.
  • Adjust spice level by modifying the amount of chipotle chili powder and hot sauce to your taste.
  • These sandwiches are best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours covered tightly to prevent browning.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier, healthier option.
  • Use fresh pumpernickel bread or any dense, flavorful bread to complement the creamy filling.
