OPEN-FACED EGG SALAD AND WATERCRESS SANDWICH



Open-Faced Egg Salad and Watercress Sandwich image

Entered for safe-keeping. Found this recipe from Saveur on the internet, and it looks like an excellent combination for tea-time sandwiches. (Or in my case, I'll wrap 2-slice sandwiches with plastic as is commonly done in Britain, and brown-bag my lunch for work.) From wikipedia: "Watercress contains significant amounts of iron, calcium and folic acid, in addition to vitamins A and C.... Many benefits from eating watercress are claimed, such as that it acts as a mild stimulant, a source of phytochemicals and antioxidants, a diuretic, an expectorant, and a digestive aid. It also appears to have cancer-suppressing properties. It is widely believed to help defend against lung cancer. In addition, watercress is a known inhibitor of the Cytochrome P450 CYP2E1, which may result in altered drug metabolism for individuals on certain medications (ex., chlorzoxazone)." Note that watercress has a shelf life of 2-3 days. For a more British version, use cress sprouts.

4 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled
1/4 cup chopped red onion
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
§ cup alfalfa sprouts or radish sprouts
2 large slices multi-grain bread, toasted

Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Mash your eggs with a fork: A fork will give your egg salad a chunkier texture than a food processor or blender. This will help to prevent the egg salad from becoming too mushy.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: There are many different ways to season egg salad. Some popular options include mayonnaise, mustard, celery, onion, dill, and chives. You can also add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chill your egg salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the egg salad easier to spread.
  • Serve your egg salad on a variety of breads or crackers: Egg salad is a versatile dish that can be served on a variety of breads or crackers. Some popular options include white bread, wheat bread, rye bread, and crackers.
