Steps:
- 1. Drain and squeeze tuna fish until looks dry. Set aside.
- 2. Remove shells from eggs, cut into chunk, set aside.
- 3. Mix together, mix well, cheez whiz, mayonnaise, cream cheese, onion powder, red pepper,worchestershire sauce. Next add tuna fish and mix again.
- 4. Add chunked egg pieces, and cubed cheddar cheese pieces to the tuna mixture, stir together. Refrigerate for 1 hour or you can use it right away. I think the refrigerating helps blend the flavors.
- 5. Put tuna/egg spread on toasted bread or toasted buns. Broil on low, watch carefully so doesn't burn. (I use Udi's sandwich bread because I must have a gluten free diet.)
BRAUOTERTA - ICELANDIC STYLE SANDWICH LOAF: SHRIMP
Sandwich loaves, or 'bread cakes' as they are called in Iceland, are an enduring presence at Icelandic celebrations where cakes are served. While the fillings have changed over the years and they don't use half as much mayonnaise in them as once was the case, yet they continue to be a vehicle for cooks to display their talents with garnish, and are a savory palate cleanser in between nibbles of all the sweet cakes usually served at traditional birthday parties. See note at end of recipe regarding the bread that is used. Recipe is from icecook.blogspot.com. Posted for ZWT9.

Steps:
- Mix the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and well-blended. Add the bell pepper, mashed eggs, and garlic powder. Mix well. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Season to taste with black pepper.
- Place a layer of bread on the serving plate or tray and spread half the filling over it. Top with another slice of bread and spread the remaining filling. Top with the third slice of bread.
- Mix a small amount of mayonnaise and sour cream, then smooth a thin layer evenly over the loaf, both top and sides. Decorate to your liking with the garnish ingredients, which can include large shrimps, egg slices and vegetables, e.g. bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, chopped parsley.
- NOTE ON BREAD: The bread is basically a pan-baked loaf of white sandwich bread that has been sliced lengthwise. The crusts are removed, leaving between 4 and 6 long slices of bread. This is probably not available at the bakery, but you could buy or make a whole unsliced loaf and slice it yourself.
- NOTE ON MAYO: Icelandic mayo is not vinegary tart and also not as runny as American style mayo. Buy Icelandic, or a close approximation is Kewpie brand mayo, easily found in Oriental stores.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings, such as a sourdough or rye bread.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities for fillings and toppings, so get creative and have fun!
- Make it a meal: Serve the sandwich with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.
Conclusion:
Brauðterta is a delicious and versatile sandwich that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its endless variations of fillings and toppings, there's something for everyone to enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give brauðterta a try!
