The Best Egg Mayo Sans Mayo Sandwich Recipes

THE BEST EGG-MAYO-SANS-MAYO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Chop cucumber into thin slices (should come out with 12 -16) and halve them so they're semicircles.
• With food processor:.
• Chop eggs roughly and process them with curry powder.
• Without food processor:.
• Quarter eggs and remove yolks.Chop finely and mix in curry powder.
• Chop egg whites finely and combine well with yolk mixture.
• After egg prep:.
• Gradually add the olive oil to the egg mixture until it's of a spreadable consistency--you may need less or more olive oil.
• Spread egg mixture on four bread slices and light cream cheese on the other four.
• Alternatively, mix cream cheese with egg mixture and spread on all eight slices. This is for a really egg-mayo effect, but I prefer them to be separated.
• Press cucumber into four of the slices.
• Put the egg bread slices with the cucumber bread slices.
• Enjoy lovely un-mayo sandwiches !

EGG MAYO & WATERCRESS ROLLS

Steps:

• Hard-boil eggs for 10 mins, then drain and cool under cold water for 5 mins. Peel, roughly chop and put in a bowl.
• Roughly chop watercress, and stir this into the eggs with some salt and pepper and mayonnaise. Divide the filling between the rolls.

EGG MAYO

Steps:

• Prepare the hard-boiled eggs: Put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so that the water is at a strong simmer and cook, uncovered, for 7 minutes. Drain the eggs into a colander, and run them under cold water.
• Return the eggs to the empty pan, shake the pan vigorously to crack the shells, then peel the eggs under cold running water. Rinse them and keep them covered in the refrigerator until needed. (They should be used the same day.)
• Prepare the mayonnaise: Put the egg, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar and salt in the container of a blender; pulse to mix. With the machine running on high speed if your blender has two or three speeds, or on medium to medium-high if your blender has more speeds, slowly and steadily pour in the oil, stopping halfway through to scrape down the sides of the container. Every blender is different, so it's hard to say how long it will take for the oil to be incorporated and the mayo to set. Taste and see if you want to add more lemon juice, mustard, vinegar or salt. Scrape into a clean container, cover and refrigerate until needed. (The mayo will keep for up to 4 days.)
• To assemble the dish, you'll need about half the mayonnaise to cover the 4 hard-boiled eggs. You want the mayo to be thin enough to just coat the eggs - it should come off the spoon in quickly dissolving ribbons - so, if needed, thin it with a little hot water. (You might need 3 to 4 teaspoons; check as you go.) Taste, and see if you want more salt and some pepper.
• Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and place them on a platter, yolk side down or up. Spoon the mayonnaise on top, coating the egg and allowing some to slip over the sides. Garnish the eggs as you like. Serve with bread, of course.

JUST-EGG SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Peel and finely chop the eggs. Mix with the mayonnaise and some seasoning. Spread the bread with butter and make the sandwiches. Cut into neat fingers and stack on a plate. Scatter with cress so that those who like it can add it.

EGG-LESS MAYO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Remove the tofu from the pack and press out the excess water, either between sheets of kitchen paper or a clean tea towel, weighed down with a plate for about 30 mins.
• Mix the mayo, mustard, turmeric and nutritional yeast together with a little salt and pepper.
• Crumble the tofu into a bowl, leaving large chunks to create a chopped egg texture. Gently stir in the chives. If you want it looser you can add more mayo.
• Spread the mixture on the bread to make four or five rounds of sandwiches (depending on how much filling you want), then add cress, if you like. Use a sharp knife to cut into triangles.
