Few foods meet as many needs at once.
An egg salad sandwich is:

The Core Ingredients (And Why They Work)
At its heart, an egg salad sandwich has only three essential elements.
1. Eggs
Eggs provide:

Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods available, which is why this sandwich is surprisingly satisfying.
