| 1 slice | Whole wheat bread |
| 1 medium egg | Egg, hard boiled |
| 9 slice | Turkey, deli cut |
| 1 cup | Mixed vegetable salad |
| 1 tbsp | Honey mustard dressing, low fat |
Intructions:
Prepare the eggs:
Boil or poach the eggs until fully cooked (about 8–10 minutes for hard-boiled, 3–4 minutes for poached).
Let them cool slightly, then peel (if boiled) and slice in half or into rounds.
Toast the bread (optional):
Lightly toast the bread for extra crunch and warmth.
Assemble the open sandwiches:
Lay the bread slices flat on a plate or board.
Spread with cream cheese if using, or place cheese slices directly on the bread.
Layer with slices of ham and top with the boiled or poached egg.
Make the salad:
In a bowl, mix your chosen salad ingredients (e.g., lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers).
Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat.
Serve:
Place the salad on the side of the sandwich plate.
Enjoy immediately while the bread is fresh!
Quick Tip:
For fewer grains: this sandwich can be served open-faced or in an iceberg lettuce wrap.
Nutritional Highlights
Turkey is loaded with zinc and potassium and is an excellent source of lean protein. It also has mood-enhancing properties, due to its serotonin content.
