Ingredients

6 egg (hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped)
1⁄3 cup mayonnaise (or alfredo sauce)
1⁄4 cup bacon (optional, cooked crispy, finely chopped)
1 pinch onion (onion powder)
1 tablespoon chives (fresh chives, snipped)
1 pinch black pepper (ground)
2 pita bread (open, cut in half)

Instructions

Place the eggs into a bowl.

Stir in the mayonnaise, bacon and onion powder well.

Gently fold in the parsley and pepper.

Open the pita pockets and fill each one with the egg salad mixture.

This is a good recipe for students.Teens are old enough to cook hard-boiled eggs and deal with the macrowave oven. They can prepare the whole sandwich. They would be able to prepare homemade mayonnaise, as well.

School age kids may be able to prepare the egg salad once the eggs are cooked and using prepared mayonnaise. They could open the pita bread.

Young kids can help to mix the egg salad and fill the halved pita bread.
