Make a hearty, high-protein egg salad for a healthy sandwich in under 10 minutes with this tasty and healthy egg salad sandwich recipe. For more protein in egg salad, boil three eggs. Chop all the high-protein egg whites, but only use the yolk from one of the eggs. That reduces the fat and calories to make a healthier sandwich. Add a dollop of light mayo (or high protein Greek yogurt) and chopped celery to add an irresistible crunch to this heart healthy sandwich recipe. Serve on protein fortified whole wheat bread.
