Open Face Egg Salad Sandwiches With Mixed Herbs Food

OPEN-FACE EGG SALAD SANDWICHES WITH MIXED HERBS

Steps:

• Combine egg yolk, mustard, and a pinch salt in a medium bowl. Anchor bowl by setting it inside a towel-lined saucepan, which will afford you 2 free hands-1 for pouring and 1 for whisking. Whisk until very smooth.
• Combine olive and vegetable oils in a measuring glass and pour into yolk mixture, drop by drop at first, then in a slow steady stream as mixture stiffens, until all the oil has been added. Whisk in vinegar and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper. Thin mayo with water if needed, adding a teaspoonful at a time until just loose enough to fall off a spoon.
• Gently lower eggs into a large saucepan of boiling salted water, and cook, maintaining an active simmer, 9 minutes. Immediately transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water and stir until cool enough to handle, about 1 minute. Drain, pat dry, and peel eggs. Tear eggs into large pieces and add to mayonnaise. Gently fold just to coat; season with salt and pepper. Spoon over bread.
• Toss scallions, basil, dill, chives, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Add lemon juice, drizzle with oil, and season with salt. Toss to coat. Pile herbs on top of egg.

ASPARAGUS EGG SALAD TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cook 1 bunch thin asparagus (trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces) in salted boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to ice water to cool; drain and pat dry. Mix with 4 chopped hard-boiled eggs, 1 chopped avocado, 1/4 cup each plain yogurt, mayonnaise and minced red onion and 1 tablespoon each lemon juice and Dijon mustard; season with salt and pepper. Spread between bread slices; trim the crusts and cut into triangles.

AVOCADO & EGG SALAD OPEN FACED SANDWICH

Steps:

• To hard boil eggs, place eggs in pot of water with the water level just slightly above the eggs. Bring water to a boil and boil for 12 minutes.
• Drain water from pot, and refill with cold water. Crack eggs by lightly tapping on the side of the sink and peel under running cold water.
• Use egg slicer to make egg slices, then turn the slices 90 degrees and slice again, mincing the eggs. If you don't have an egg slicer, you can mash with a fork.
• Combine eggs with just enough mayonnaise to get all of the eggs wet. Adjust the mayonnaise amount as needed.
• Add dash of salt to eggs and mix.
• At this point, the egg salad can be refrigerated in a sealed carton to be used for the sandwich later, or the sandwich can be made with the warm egg salad.
• To assemble, place half of the egg salad on each half of the hamburger bun or English muffin.
• Slice the avocado into small slices and place on top of egg salad.
• Cover with cheese.
• Place open faced sandwiches on a pie plate or small low sided pan.
• Broil on top rack in the oven for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread are lightly browned. Watch it carefully so that the bread does not burn.
• NOTE: The egg salad is best with regular mayo, not light mayo. If you are going to eat the egg salad cold instead of broiling it, the taste is much better the day after making it. Seal in a carton and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor.

• You could also use english muffin halves as the original recipe called for, but personally I think the sourdough adds a little something extra!
