Egg Salad Sandwiches
- 1 loaf worth Sandwich bread
- 1 Margarine and Japanese mustard (or western mustard)
- 1/2 bunch Nanohana
- 1 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 dash Japanese mustard
- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 to 1 Onion
- 4 to 5 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 dash Salt, pepper, and sugar
- 1 Tomato
- 1 Lettuce
- 1 pack Ham
- Hard boil the eggs.
- Add salt in a pan of boiling water, and boil the nanohana.
- When cooked, drain and refresh in cold water to stop the cooking and preserve its colour.
- Cut into the same size as the bread slices.
- Put 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and a small amount of mustard (Japanese or western) in a bowl and mix together.
- Add the blanched nanohana and mix.
- Soak about 1 tablespoon of very finely chopped onion in water.
- Mash up the egg yolks with a fork.
- Chop the whites finely.
- Drain the onion and mix with the egg.
- Season with a little salt and pepper and about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, add the mayonnaise and mix well.
- Cut the tomato in half and remove the seeds.
- Slice about 5 mm thick.
- Spread the butter and a little mustard on the bread.
- Top with the egg mixture, lettuce, nanohana and tomato.
- Tip: If you squeeze mayonnaise between the fillings, it will act like glue and hold the sandwich together.
- Add the ham.
- You can also add bacon or boiled shrimp!
- Wrap the sandwiches 2 at a time in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator.
- Tip: When cutting the sandwiches, cut them while they are still in the plastic wrap to prevent falling apart.
- Pack the cut sandwiches with the wrap still on in lunch boxes.
- The plastic will prevent them from drying out.
- You could serve these for your afternoon tea.
- Spring colored nanohana sandwiches!
