Chef Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Eggshell Egg Salad Sandwich
(Feel-good, high-nutrient comfort food made with real eggs and sprouted grain bread)
🥚 Ingredients
For the eggs & eggshell powder:
- 6 free-range, pasture-raised eggs
- Pinch of sea salt for boiling water
For the egg salad:
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise (or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery (optional, for crunch)
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Sea salt, to taste
- ½ teaspoon eggshell powder (optional, for added calcium and minerals)
For the sandwich:
- 4 slices Silver Hills sprouted whole grain bread or Ezekiel bread
- Organic butter or avocado oil for toasting
- Lettuce leaves or baby spinach, for serving
🔥 Directions
1. Boil the eggs perfectly.
Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the eggs carefully.
Cook for 9–10 minutes for firm but creamy yolks.
Transfer to ice water immediately to stop cooking.
2. Make the eggshell powder (Ramsay’s secret touch).
- Save the clean shells.
- Boil them again for 5 minutes to sterilize.
- Dry completely on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 200°F (95°C) for 10 minutes until brittle.
- Grind into a fine powder using a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.
Ramsay says: “A pinch of eggshell powder adds trace minerals and calcium — nature’s own supplement. Waste nothing!”
3. Peel and chop the eggs.
Roughly chop — Ramsay prefers a mix of textures, not a paste.
4. Mix the salad.
In a bowl, whisk mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a small pinch of eggshell powder.
Fold in the eggs, chives, and celery until just combined. Don’t overmix.
5. Toast the bread.
Lightly butter or brush each slice with avocado oil.
Toast until golden on both sides. Ramsay says: “That crunch makes the sandwich sing.”
6. Assemble.
Lay down lettuce or spinach, scoop generous portions of egg salad, and close with the top slice.
Cut diagonally — because presentation matters, even at breakfast.
🍽️ Chef Ramsay’s Notes
“Good food should make you feel alive. The sprouted grains from Silver Hills or Ezekiel bread help your body digest better, the eggs give protein, and the shell brings the minerals full circle. That’s nature’s perfection — simple, rustic, and bloody delicious.”
