In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky. Add mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Mix the Egg Salad
3 Gently fold the chopped eggs into the avocado mixture until fully incorporated. Add chives (if using) and mix lightly.
Assemble the Sandwich
4 Toast the bagel slices until golden brown. Layer each bottom half with lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion (if using). Spoon a generous amount of avocado egg salad on top. Cover with the top half of the bagel and serve immediately.
Note
- Storage: Store leftover egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Variations: Add crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Make it Vegan: Substitute eggs with mashed chickpeas and use plant-based mayo.
