This sounds so good. My husband and I love egg salad and I love BLT's. I would leave the tomato out of of my husbands sandwich as he does not like tomato. This is a perfect sandwich for a light supper. Thank you!!!

I like these sandwiches and would definitely make them again. However, I'd change the egg salad part to something a little softer on my son's stomach.
