Gourmet Egg Salad Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Sauté bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Cut bacon slices crosswise in half.
• Combine chopped eggs, celery, and olives in bowl. Mix in 1/4 cup mayonnaise and mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place toast slices on work surface; spread lightly with remaining mayonnaise. Divide egg salad among 6 toast slices. Place 4 bacon pieces, then 2 lettuce leaves atop egg salad on each. Cover with remaining toast slices, mayonnaise side down. Cut sandwiches diagonally in half.

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.

Steps:

• Place egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.
• Place the chopped eggs in a bowl, and stir in the mayonnaise, mustard and green onion. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Stir and serve on your favorite bread or crackers.

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together all ingredients except bread with salt and pepper to taste until combined well.
• Make 4 sandwiches, pressing bread slices together gently.

Steps:

• Scoop egg yolks into large bowl; mash well with fork. Finely chop egg whites; add to yolks. Mix in currants, green onion, and cilantro. Mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise and curry powder in small bowl; stir into egg mixture. Mix in more mayonnaise by tablespoonfuls if salad is dry. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Thinly slice cucumber crosswise into half-rounds. Place slices on paper towels to drain. Arrange toast on work surface; spread each toast slice with mayonnaise. Divide salad among 6 toast slices; top each with cucumber slices and second toast slice. Cut sandwiches in half; serve.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
• Preheat oven broiler and set rack about 6 inches from heat source.
• Mix eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl; fold in crumbled bacon.
• Toast sourdough bread under broiler until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Spread pesto evenly on each slice of bread; top with 1/4 egg salad mixture and spread to cover completely. Top each sandwich with 1 slice Jarlsberg cheese.
• Return sandwiches to broiler and cook until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Served sandwiches warm and open-faced.
