Linda's Egg Salad Sandwich (Sandwiches) or Finger Rolls

"Great for baby and bridal showers, graduations, or any other type of party or family get together. GREAT for weddings too! You can double or triple this recipe, and it works fine. The yield on this recipe depends on how full you stuff the rolls, and how big the rolls are. Try some of my other delicious sandwiches: Recipe #52284 Recipe #234542 Recipe #52286"

directions

  • Put eggs in water, and make sure water is covering eggs. Add 1 teaspoons of salt to water. Cover, and bring to a boil.
  • When water starts to boil, take off burner, and let sit for 15 minutes Drain water.
  • Tap the eggs on the counter when you are ready to peel, to break the shell, and under cold running water, peel the egg. This helps the shell to come off easier.
  • Mash eggs and whites, using a fork. Make sure there are no lg. pieces of egg white. Mash them good. Chill in the fridge.
  • Meanwhile, add the mayonnaise and mustard together, and mix well. Add to the eggs, along with the onion and olives. If using shrimp, add at this time as well.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste. Mix all well, and chill. (Be careful with the salt, as the olives and shrimp are salty).
  • To Make Sandwiches:

  • Stuff with as much filling as you like, and top with a lettuce leaf.
  • Cut sandwich, and serve.
  • To Make Finger Rolls:

  • Stuff with as much filling as you like.
  • Sprinkle with paprika, and top with a couple of olive slices on each one, if you really like olives.

  1. Eggcellent change for us with the minced olive... Very enjoyable!!!
     
  2. I made these as finger rolls for my sister's baby shower. They went over so well, I went home with an empty platter! Thank you. Kim
     
  3. Lots of green olives set this apart from the typical egg salad sandwich. This is "project" food that can be put in front of a busy person for a mental pick-me-up and, properly presented, would fit nicely into a party spread. Made for Zaar Stars, Feb. 2009.
     
  4. I made your Recipe #52284 and enjoyed it so much I looked forward to making this one too! I finally had the chance to boil up some eggs and throw this together, and I am so glad I did! It was awesome!! The olives really give it a boost in flavor and my friend and I enjoyed them for lunch. Great Sandwich Linda! Thanks for posting!
     
  5. We halved the recipe and have had for lunch a couple of times now. We really enjoy the addition of olive with the egg. It really adds to the flavor. Dice up tiny, even our little one loved it, and he doesn't like olives. Excellent anytime. We have tried several of your sandwiches Linda, and they are all so delicious! Thanks for sharing them all with us. Don

<p>Hi Everyone,</p> <p>I just don't have the time these days to send out individual thank yous for those that make and review my recipes, but I&nbsp;&nbsp;just want you to know that you are truly appreciated and it tickles me every time I get a review, knowing you tried my recipes and enjoyed them the way I do.</p> <p>I even appreciate the ones that tried them and for some reason they didn't work out for you. &nbsp;Everyone has different tastes, and you can't please everyone all the time. &nbsp;</p> <p>Lots of times people change the recipes, adding things, leaving things out, and not seasoning them to their own taste, and give a bad review... &nbsp;Recipes are only guidelines, and if you follow mine and don't like it, then it's a personal preference as to why you don't like it, and I appreciate that. &nbsp;However, if you don't follow my recipe then it is YOUR recipe that you don't like, and my recipe shouldn't be rated. IMHO &nbsp; Thanks for trying them anyway &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Hugs,</p> <p>Linda</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>My name is Linda. I am happily single, and I live in Rochester NH. I just moved back to the town where most of my family lived years ago, and where I lived as a child, after living in NC for 5 years. I have 2 grown sons, a dil, and 2 beautiful grandsons. <br /> <br />I really enjoy my time here on Zaar posting recipes, trying new recipes, taking pictures, and reviewing lots of yummy recipes! <br /> <br />I love to cook, and share recipes. The recipes that I share are mainly my own creations, or family recipes passed down to me from my mom and grandmother, and other family members or friends. If I post something from somewhere else, it has to sound REALLY good to me for me to post it! <br /> <br />Many of the dishes that I prepare are simple, good, down home cooking. Many of them originate from New England, as my grandmother is from Maine, and my mother from New Hampshire. I do also like to try making some gourmet recipes as well, using my creativity along the way. <br /> <br />I started cooking at a the age of 8, helping my mother and grandmother in the kitchen. My curiosity for cooking has led me to create many of my own recipes through trial and error. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I do :) <br /> <br />In my spare time I play on my computer collecting recipes, and have been working on creating a cookbook to publish for some time, but have put it aside for now. <br /> <br />I also love to travel and shop. I love to go to the beach and mountains, and as food is a passion of mine, I love to dine out and try many different cuisines in the area, and with friends when I am traveling :) <br /> <br />I made my first herb garden in 2008, but have had vegetable gardens for many years in the past. I have done my share of canning and I love those fresh herbs and veggies all summer long! <br /> <br /> <br />My Rating System: <br /> <br />5 Stars ***** Outstanding recipe that I absolutely loved. It can be down home or restaurant quality, as long as it tastes great and I didn't have to make any changes along the way! Also recipe has to have clear directions. One I would definately make again and again. <br /> <br />4 Stars **** Great recipe that I loved, but one that I may have had to tweak just a bit. Directions may have not been crystal clear. One I would make again and again with my changes. <br /> <br />3 Stars *** I liked the recipe, but had to add ingredients, or add more of a called for ingredient to have the recipe come out the way I like it. I would probably make again sometime. <br /> <br />2 Stars ** This recipe was ok, but I probably wouldn't make it again due to lack of taste, undesireable texture, or unclear directions etc. <br /> <br />1 Star * This recipe was one I didn't like at all. Either the amounts of ingredients were wrong (too little flavor or too much of one/some of the ingredients in the recipe), or the recipe didn't come out right following the directions given. Lack of directions. <br /> <br />No Stars - I have tried the recipe in the past and want to make a comment, or I am adding a comment about the recipe posted, possibly a tip or what I feel to be important information about the recipe. <br /> <br /><a href=http://www.sparklee.com><img style=border: 0px initial initial;
