Egg Salad Tramezzini Recipes

THE BEST EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Cover the eggs with at least 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, celery, onions, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Peel and roughly chop the eggs, add to the mayonnaise mixture and toss gently to combine. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

EGG SALAD TRAMEZZINI

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil; decrease heat so the water simmers gently.
• Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the water; cook for 11 minutes and then let cool.
• While the eggs are cooking, grill the asparagus on a preheated panini grill; grill them for 1 minute until they are warm but still have a degree of crispness to them.
• Transfer to a cutting board and slice on the bias, about ¼ inch thick.
• Peel the eggs from their shells; use your fingers to break the eggs in half, transferring the yolks to a mixing bowl and the whites to a cutting board.
• Break the yolks with a fork, mashing until they resemble cornmeal; add in the sliced asparagus.
• Roughly chop the whites into small but uneven pieces; transfer to mixing bowl; add in the mayonnaise.
• Gently fold the ingredients together; the egg salad should have a creamy consistency, so add a tablespoon or two more mayonnaise, if necessary; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place half of the white bread slices on a clean work surface; spread about ¼ cup egg salad over each and top with remaining bread slices.
• Before serving, use a serrated knife to remove the crusts from the sandwiches and cut into triangles.
