CEIMB: L.O.V.E. Wrap Sandwich


This week's Craving Ellie in My Belly was a very simple, yet totally delicious, wrap sandwich. Ellie calls it the L.O.V.E. Wrap because it contains lettuce (L), onion (O), veggies (V), and egg (E). Plus, it makes quite a "love"-able sandwich, so the name does fit. This week's selection was made by Joanne of Apple Crumbles.



I assembled the ingredients for this wrap gradually, leisurely. I hard-boiled the eggs the day before we were to eat then, and chopped the bell peppers and onions early as well. I set aside just enough egg for my husband's wrap, and I mashed his together with the mayo and mustard. Since I normally cannot stomach mustard, unless it is totally mixed into something, and mayo makes me kinda sick, I just opted to eat my egg sandwich sans dressing. I didn't mind this at all; in fact, I sort of appreciated the simplicity. However, my husband raved about his mayo/mustard/egg mixture! So forgive me for not being able to speak from personal experience, but I do trust his opinion. So it was really good!



Thanks to Joanne for the quick, easy pick this week! I will definitely be keeping this one in mind when Easter rolls around, and I have more hard-boiled eggs than I know what to do with. If you'd like the recipe, it's on Food Network's site, here. For the CEIMB blogroll, click here.

  1. You have sold it with those photos.

    My husband came home, not feeling well, last night so I changed my cooking plans to something hot since that is what he wanted. Maybe, at a later date.....

  4. Gorgeous photos! I loved how easy the recipe was to assemble myself and everyone who sampled the sandwich loved it. I am glad you found a variation for yourself that did not include the mayo and mustard =0).

  5. Glad you liked it. I like eggs but can rarely eat them cold. You made it look so good. Maybe I should have made a Hot Wrap?! Prob. could have tolerated the wrap that way.

  7. Looks great...I will get to it one of these days, it's swimming championship season and I am running more than a tad behind. Am reading all your posts, only taking time to comment on a couple b/c I am behind in blog reading as well. I hate it when that happens!
