These egg-salad muffin melts can easily be made ahead of time, making this a perfect breakfast option for a lazy morning or a busy family brunch. This recipe is only for the egg salad, which is spread on split English Muffins (this linked recipe for starch-free English Muffins can also be made ahead and frozen). This starch-free mayonnaise recipe is loaded with healthy fats and is preservative-free to boot!
