Egg Salad, like tuna, has the condiments built in dude. No additions necessary.

I wondered about that. I just thought passing up mustard was passing up free stuff.

 

[schutd]

Theres no such thing as free, man. No such thing.

 

[Mulli]

Hmm, I am really digging yellow mustard and Valencia hot sauce.

Not together yet though. Except for in chili.


Made some turkey chili last week. Had an odd texture.

Egg salad....ugh.

Egg salad....ugh.

You waited four months to tell us this, lol?

I agree with schutd. No need for extras.

BTW, I love egg salad, but only homemade stuff, not the deli stuff. I had an ex-boyfriend that made AWESOME egg salad. It's the only thing I miss about him.

 

[Gee!]

You miss his eggs huh? Interesting ..

He also made good omelets, so, yeah, I guess you could say that is a true statement.

A salami, muenster, peppercini, yellow mustard, hot sauce, and over easy egg sandwich on an onion bagel is food of the gods.

It wouldn't work without the mustard or hot sauce though.

aside from the pepperoncini & hot sauce, that actually sounds good. I bet it would work for me w/o the hot sauce!

You can put some lettuce or something on an egg or tuna salad sandwich, but yeah, no condiments.

I use condiments on egg salad simply as a lubricating agent for the bread. Overly dry bread will negate an otherwise delightful sandwich.

What's the etiquete for putting a slice of cheese on an egg or chicken salad sandwich? Yes or no?

Cheese is never a bad idea when it comes to sandwiches.

 

[schutd]

Disagree. Because of the unusally high fat content in the awesome amount of mayo in an egg slad, cheese is a bad idea. Too much richness, no balance.

After with this. Ovrkill.

Good point. Perhaps balance could be achieved by using low fat mayo in order to lower the high fat ratio enough to include that slice of cheese, and then add a layer of lettuce to take the edge off.

The same could be said about the mayo in Tuna salad and Tuna melts are fantastic.

Egg is already rich. Tuna is fishy. Balance between mayo and fish. Not so much with egg and mayo. Thats why you need a touch of vinegar in egg salad, a little acidity to lay off all the richness.

What is your ultimate egg salad recipe?

What do you think of green olives, without the pimentio's, in tuna salad?

 

[Pariah]

RC, shouldn't all the stuff in a tuna or egg salad sufficiently "lubricate" the bread?

 

[Rivercard]

You haven't seen me cook. I could burn water.

Seriously though, I suppose it depends on the bread quality and thickness. A sufficiently moist bread slice is very important. Perhaps that's why the soup and sandwich combo is such a beloved lunch staple. And who can ignore the delightful results of the French Dip sandwich when that warm liquid meets the bread?

Vinegar and salt, IMO.

Seriously though next time you make an egg salad put a slice of swiss on it. It's fantastic. I've never tried it with any other cheese but swiss seems to just compliment it perfectly.

Ugh. Vinegar ruins everything. Tastes like cleaning solution.

How do u know what cleaning solution tastes like?
