Why this works

A protein-containing, very low-carbohydrate picnic filling that is fairly energy-dense and relatively high in fat and sodium from mayonnaise and pickles.

High-quality protein. Eggs provide complete protein plus useful nutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium.

Cholesterol and saturated fat. The egg-and-mayonnaise combination makes this higher in dietary cholesterol and saturated fat than a lighter sandwich filling.

Sodium from pickles and mustard. Pickles and mustard contribute a notable amount of salt, so this may not suit a low-sodium diet.

Method

Hard-boil the eggs for 9 minutes, then cool, peel and chop them.
Stir the eggs together with mayonnaise, mustard and chopped pickles.
Spoon into bread or rolls and press gently together.
Cut in half and serve.
