The Best Egg-Mayo-Sans-Mayo Sandwich
"Yummy, easy and loved by all, especially mayo-haters ! (Like me. Ick.) Great for beach picnics--can be done with and without food processor."
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
4 sandwiches
ingredients
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 3 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 peeled cucumber
- 4 tablespoons light cream cheese (or as needed)
directions
- Chop cucumber into thin slices (should come out with 12 -16) and halve them so they're semicircles.
-
With food processor:
- Chop eggs roughly and process them with curry powder.
-
Without food processor:
- Quarter eggs and remove yolks.Chop finely and mix in curry powder.
- Chop egg whites finely and combine well with yolk mixture.
-
After egg prep:
- Gradually add the olive oil to the egg mixture until it's of a spreadable consistency--you may need less or more olive oil.
- Spread egg mixture on four bread slices and light cream cheese on the other four.
- Alternatively, mix cream cheese with egg mixture and spread on all eight slices. This is for a really egg-mayo effect, but I prefer them to be separated.
- Press cucumber into four of the slices.
- Put the egg bread slices with the cucumber bread slices.
- Enjoy lovely un-mayo sandwiches !

Me at Christmas , eyeing the mince pies , muaharhar.
I'm sixteen years old and love to cook. Seriosuly , I always bug my mum when she's coming home - " Can I boil an egg ? Do you want me to put on the pasta ? " etc - and I have little tradition where I cook a complete dinner once a fortnight. Thats' generally what I review recipes for as I don't get a chance to cook the rest of the time :(
Since I live in Hong Kong, I don't have access to a lot of the stuff most Recipezaar-ers in the US do , so I spend a lot of time filtering out refrigerated buttermilk biscuits , frozen pie shells, pastry flour and all those instant mixes >< Its' not just that I live in Hong Kong though , my pantry (physically impossible in a two-bedroom flat, but there in mind and spirit) is small.
What I always have in the kitchen : plain flour, self-raising flour, sugar, cocoa, pasta, canned beans, canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, garlic, onion, some kind of cheese, low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk, water, frozen berries, muesli.
I guess a love of food is born in as I'm half-Italian. I go to Sicily every summer and its so different from here - there is this ...respect for food. I LOVE IT
The other half of me has an ex-baking grandma ( she stopped after she had no-one to fatten up ) and I think I got a bit of that too , I absolutely ADORE making cakes, cookies,muffins but I hate having them around the house . I mulled over the idea of selling my baked stuff but in the end decided I'd probably get arrested for hawking and no-one would know what I was doing anyway.
My rating system -
***** Perfect. this is for whatever the recipe claims to be, i.e. if a recipe a simple,quick, economic stew I won't give it *** for not being finicky or delicate. These are often foolproof, too :)
**** Almost perfect, but there was something missing.
*** All right . Not a bad recipe, but I didn't like it.
** Not enjoyable, but with some spark or facet with merit.
* Godawful. SORRY !
