You guys. I think I’ve been craving egg salad and grilled cheese sandwiches. I was thinking hey why not combo Egg Salad and Grilled Cheese go together on a Sandwich like say why not.

I’m not even sure who’s typing this right now, you may be reading the words of an alien.

I may be being SLIGHTLY (read: a lot, but what else is new) over-dramatic, but I am doing ALL THE THINGS I promised myself I would never do.

It all began with these Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers.

I made a meatless burger. I liked it. I ate it repeatedly, and there may have been more again. I was so anti-veggie burgers before the massive amount of veggie burger consumption, that my identity slowly began to unravel.

And then there’s today. I’m completely late…for National Grilled Cheese Day.

“early or I’m late” and it drives the best sandwiches. He’s more of a “if I’m not late, I’m too early” kinda guy.

You can image the fun we have when we have to go to events that start a certain times.

Except not.

But, guess who has two thumbs and waited till Spring or Summer time to join the party? This girl.

We can add avocado would be sound good to go with it? It will be next on the recipes just look out for it.

All talk of space creatures aside, I promise this healthy egg salad grilled cheese sandwich is worth the wait. You know what, I’m even going to go as far as to say that I held out on you on purpose, for the sake of suspense.

Even if you didn’t know this healthy egg salad recipe was coming, there was no suspense. Whatever. You understand me.

If you are a fan of healthy egg salad, you’ll be digging this. you dunk it in a creamy bowl of Keto Tomato soup. HEAVEN!

Is Egg Salad Healthy?

Typically egg salad is loaded with Mayo which makes it not considered “healthy.” You know I’m all about everything in moderation so you can use Avocado Mayo if your heart desires! But, to make this a little bit “healthier” we are using Greek yogurt.

Plus it adds ALL THE PROTEIN to this healthy egg salad grilled cheese sandwich. You know how I feel about protein

The best yummy part about this healthy egg salad sandwich with CHEESE is that you can use air fryer hard-boiled eggs to make it! I might have missed grilled cheese day, but you better believe I planned this recipe to go right after Healthy Date Night.

The best part about this is the grilled cheese sandwich. You can eat it for breakfast since there are eggs. You can eat it for lunch since it’s a sandwich. And You can eat it for dinner because I said so. And…cheese.

So, whenever you’re reading this, you should also be eating it.
