Knife & Fork Egg Salad Sandwiches With Chives image

Served on pumpernickel bread. Recipe courtesy Saveur mag. (Note: My photo doesn't reflect the right bread for this initial preparation - toasted pumpernickel - nor did I serve it open-face. I wanted to use my first ever attempt at making bread, Recipe #196201. Sue me!) ;)

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery leaves
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 slices pumpernickel bread
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 bunch watercress, stems trimmed

Steps:

  • Arrange eggs in a single layer in medium pot and cover with cold water by 1". Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately remove pot from heat. Cover and let rest for 8-10 minutes undisturbed.
  • Drain eggs, leaving them in the pot; shake the pot to crack their shells. Cover eggs with cold water, swish around, then drain. Cover again, this time with icy-cold water (add a few ice cubes if necessary), and set aside to let chill for 20 minutes. Peel and coarsely chop eggs.
  • Combine eggs, half the chives, celery leaves and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl and fold together gently to combine. Add mayonnaise, vinegar and mustard and fold again, being careful not to mash up the eggs.
  • Toast bread lightly, then butter each slice on one side. Arrange a bit of the watercress on top of each piece of toast, buttered side up. Dollop each piece with a generous scoop of egg salad. Transfer the sandwiches to plates. Sprinkle with remaining chives and serve immediately.
