Alexis's Curried Egg Salad Sandwich
Servings: 4
Directions
- Hard-boil Large eggs: Place them in a pot of cool water deep sufficient to cover Large eggs by at least 1 inch. Bring water to a boil, turn off heat, and cover. Let stand for 11 min. Meanwhile, prepare a cool-water bath. When Large eggs are done, plunge them into bath to cold.
- When Large eggs are cold, dry them off, and peel them. Place Large eggs in a medium bowl, and chop them roughly. Add in mayonnaise, mustard, celery, curry, and salt and pepper to taste. Combine ingredients gently, taking care not to mash the Large eggs.
- Spread one side of each bread slice with a thin layer of mayonnaise and, if using, mustard. Line the bottom slice with arugula and/or possibly radicchio, and top with a generous portion of egg salad. Cover salad with top slice of bread, and cut the sandwich into wedges. Repeat with remaining bread slices. Serve immediately.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 sandwiches.
- Comments: To chop the Large eggs coarsely without mashing them, Martha likes to use an egg slicer or possibly pastry cutter. For a more health-conscious version, she leaves out the yolks, uses low-fat mayonnaise, omits the curry pwdr, and adds minced cornichons (French sour pickles).
