The Deets

The best of a Niçoise and egg salad combined into a delicious toast 😍Green olives, a lemony vinaigrette with tons of fresh dill and soft boiled eggs 👌🏼👌🏼Truly a fantastic combo. Niçoise is a salad that originated in the French city of Nice. It is traditionally made of tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, Niçoise olives and anchovies or tuna, dressed with olive oil. This is my twist on a Niçoise by combining it with egg salad and putting it on toast. This is easy to whip up and is such a satisfying lunch. You’ll cook up hard boiled eggs and make a dressing by combining mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, olives, dill, salt, pepper, shallot and whisking until combined. You’ll stir in the eggs with the dressing and there you have it! Layer this mixture over a nice piece of toasted sourdough. Have this egg salad toast for a quick lunch or whip it up for a protein heavy snack. It’s full of flavor and won’t dissapoint! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

  1. Love the Nicoise egg salad toast, but it has way too much Dijon and I would add capers, blitz, and then add the olives. This is definitely going in the rotation. Thanks!

    1. Did you use whole grain? I find whole grain to be less potent than regular dijon so I add more but of course, to each their own! I hope you enjoyed otherwise!
