Egg salad on toasted bread
This shelf holds a jar of prepared egg salad that needs little more than bread and heat. Toast thick slices, spread the salad on warm bread, and dinner is ready in minutes. A tired weeknight calls for this kind of shortcut.

To buy
- 4 slices, thick cut bread
- as desired lettuce or tomato
From your shelf
- 1 jar egg salad
Staples
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread 1 tablespoon butter on 4 thick slices of bread. When the skillet is hot, place the bread slices butter side down and toast until golden and crisp, about two minutes per side.
- Spread half the jar of egg salad onto two of the toasted bread slices. Add lettuce or tomato if using. Top with the remaining two slices of toast.
- Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm.
Note Swap thick bread for thinner white bread, or use a toaster oven if you prefer. Leftovers keep two days wrapped in foil and reheat gently in a skillet. Serve with a pickle, chips, or a simple salad to stretch the meal.
