Avocado Egg Salad Open Faced Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• For the ricotta mixture: Add the ricotta, capers, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, salt and some pepper to a bowl. Set aside and allow the flavors to meld.
• For the layers: Add the shallots to a bowl, cover with ice water and soak for 10 minutes prior to using.
• Add the sea salt and lemon zest to a bowl and combine with your fingers.
• To build: Top each slice of bread with some of the ricotta mixture, 2 slices avocado, 3 slices tomato and some shallots, sunflower seeds and lemon salt to finish. Cut diagonally.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the eggs and cook for 8-9 mins until hard-boiled. Meanwhile, halve the avocado and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lime juice, season well and mash with a fork.
• When the eggs are cooked, run under cold water for 2 mins before removing the shells. Spread the avocado on the rye bread. Slice the eggs into thin rounds and place on top of the avocado. Drizzle some chilli sauce over the eggs, scatter the cress on top and add a good grinding of black pepper.

Steps:

• To hard boil eggs, place eggs in pot of water with the water level just slightly above the eggs. Bring water to a boil and boil for 12 minutes.
• Drain water from pot, and refill with cold water. Crack eggs by lightly tapping on the side of the sink and peel under running cold water.
• Use egg slicer to make egg slices, then turn the slices 90 degrees and slice again, mincing the eggs. If you don't have an egg slicer, you can mash with a fork.
• Combine eggs with just enough mayonnaise to get all of the eggs wet. Adjust the mayonnaise amount as needed.
• Add dash of salt to eggs and mix.
• At this point, the egg salad can be refrigerated in a sealed carton to be used for the sandwich later, or the sandwich can be made with the warm egg salad.
• To assemble, place half of the egg salad on each half of the hamburger bun or English muffin.
• Slice the avocado into small slices and place on top of egg salad.
• Cover with cheese.
• Place open faced sandwiches on a pie plate or small low sided pan.
• Broil on top rack in the oven for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread are lightly browned. Watch it carefully so that the bread does not burn.
• NOTE: The egg salad is best with regular mayo, not light mayo. If you are going to eat the egg salad cold instead of broiling it, the taste is much better the day after making it. Seal in a carton and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor.

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise, green onion, mustard, black pepper, and paprika together in a mixing bowl; add diced avocado, sprinkle with black salt, and stir.
• Divide salad between 4 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices to finish sandwiches.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except butter and muffins.
• Spread butter on each muffin half; toast.
• Spread about 2 T.
• egg mixture on each muffin half; broil 3 minutes or until cheese melts.

Steps:

• Place eggs in large bowl; mash coarsely with back of fork. Mix in onion, mayonnaise, mustard and thyme. Season salad with salt and pepper. Mound salad, then sprouts on bread, dividing equally.

Steps:

• Soft-boil the eggs: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently lower each egg into the boiling water with a large spoon. Immediately set a timer for 6 minutes 30 seconds. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl of ice water. When the timer goes off, drain the eggs and submerge them in the ice bath until cooled. Peel the eggs and transfer to a medium bowl.
• While the eggs cook, toast the croissants: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the croissants split-side down in a single layer and cook until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Make the egg salad: Break the eggs into smaller pieces with a large spoon. Add the avocado, mayonnaise, chives, hot sauce, and smoked paprika and gently mix until combined.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Fill the croissants with the egg salad and enjoy!
