Egg Salad Sliders

Ingredients

5 hard cooked eggs, chopped
1 stalk celery, finely diced
2 tbsp (30 mL) mayonnaise
to taste salt and pepper
4 carrots, peeled
2 curly lettuce leaves
8 mini burger buns or small dinner rolls, split
4  1 1/2 inch (4 cm) square slices cheddar cheese
2 small roma tomatoes, sliced
1 dill pickle, sliced into coins
2 tbsp (30 mL) ketchup (optional)
2 tbsp (30 mL) pickle relish (optional)

Directions

Combine eggs, celery, mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Using a crinkle cutter (if you have one) or a knife, cut carrots into 2 x 1/4 inch (5 x 0.5 cm ) "fries", set aside. Place a small piece of lettuce on each bun bottom and then top with egg salad, dividing it equally between the 8 buns. Top egg salad with a slice of cheddar cheese, tomato and pickle. Top with remaining bun half to form a burger. Serve with carrot "fries" and small bowls of ketchup and relish, if desired.
