Egg Salad Sandwich with Jalapenos? Say what!

For the past few nights I've been having late night cravings for something quick and easy to make.  I had opened my mom's fridge and saw eggs, mayo, green onions, but alas no mustard! Then last night my mom and younger sis went out shopping for random household items and returned triumphantly with yellow mustard in hand! Yay! I made a simple egg salad sandwich with baby mustard greens or some lettuce-mustard greens hybrid that had a lighter taste than lettuce.  Tonight I experimented by adding lime juice and diced jalapenos and ladies and gents I am converted-I love the spicy kick the jalapenos gave. I didn't take any photos b/c I gobbled it all up but I did some searching to see if other people have tried this and found the recipe for the sandwich below from Jalapeno Madness. It has avocado and feta, interesting!  


My own recipe was pretty freehand and I didn't have any exact measurements but here's what I used :

3 large hardboiled eggs-peeled and chopped
1/2 serrano chili pepper diced
1 stalk of green onions chopped
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon of yellow mustard (I eyeball it so you can add more according to your taste)
Lime juice from 1/8 wedge of a lime
2 Tb of mayonnaise (I also eyeballed this as well)
Lettuce
2 slices of bread, toasted

Just mix all the ingredients (except the lettuce and toast) together and then put it in between the lettuce and bread.  Tada! Snack attack appeased!
