ELI ZABAR'S EGG SALAD SANDWICH
In 1975, Eli Zabar, the owner of E.A.T., Eli's at the Vinegar Factory and numerous restaurants and markets throughout the city, invented what he calls the platonic ideal of an egg salad sandwich. He did it by eliminating half the egg whites. During this period, he was into simplicity, he said, and he wanted to get to the essential "egginess" of egg salad. The recipe remains unchanged more than 40 years later. But what of all the leftover hard-cooked egg whites? E.A.T. sells them as chopped egg white salad in two versions: plain, and dressed with mayonnaise and dill. Waste not, want not.

Transfer to paper towels to drain, and set aside.

EGG SALAD SANDWICHES WITH GREEN OLIVE, CELERY AND PARSLEY
This zesty egg salad has no mayonnaise (but a dab of homemade mayonnaise would be permissible). Use picholine or other tasty green olives (not the bland canned supermarket type) or substitute Italian-style marinated artichoke hearts. You could add a little chopped anchovy and a few capers, too, if so inclined. Served open-face as appetizers, these sandwiches are very pretty, but there's no reason not to use the filling for a conventional sandwich.

SKILLET-BAKED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS
Asparagus and eggs have an affinity for each other. The voluptuous yolk softens and smoothes the grassy sharpness of the vegetable, while the asparagus brightens up the dull richness of the egg. The pair's most classic expression is asparagus hollandaise, but that is too fussy and time-consuming a preparation for a regular home-cooked breakfast. This dish combines the flavors in a time- and cook-friendly way.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 300 degrees. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the asparagus and the scallions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is browned and tender.
- Whisk together the eggs, 4 tablespoons of the herbs, and cream. Whisk in Parmesan, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over asparagus and place the skillet in the oven.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until set, but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving. It is best warm, not hot.
- Squeeze one or two lemon wedges over it, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and remaining herbs. Cut into wedges.

Steps:
- Wash the asparagus under cold running water. Snap off and discard the tough bottom portion. If using thicker asparagus, scrape each stalk to remove the skin, then cut it into thirds lengthwise, leaving the the asparagus head intact.
- In a medium-size saucepan, heat the oil until just warm. Add the asparagus and salt. Saute over medium heat, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Cover and cook for another 2 minutes, shaking the pan or stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, break the eggs into a bowl and beat, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Cut the bread in half lengthwise. Remove the soft, doughy part and toast the loaf slightly.
- Uncover the asparagus, raise the heat slightly and add the eggs, stirring. Cook for 1 minute, or until the eggs are set. Scoop onto the bread and cut in half.

'FANCY' EGG SALAD
This recipe dresses up basic egg salad with parsley, capers, shallots and bacon. The writer, David Latt, cooks his eggs on a low, gentle boil for 30 minutes and finds they come out perfectly done, with the yolk flaky, but feel free to use whatever method you like, as long as the eggs are hard-boiled. (We give instructions for boiling and steaming in our guide to cooking eggs.) You can also add other spices: mustard, ground mustard seed, cumin or rosemary. The parsley can be replaced with cilantro, and the mayonnaise can be flavored.

Tips:
- For the Egg Yolk Butter: Use high-quality butter that is at room temperature. This will make it easier to cream together with the egg yolk and achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- To make the Asparagus Tea Sandwiches: Use thinly sliced asparagus for a delicate flavor and texture. You can also blanch the asparagus briefly in boiling water to tenderize it.
- For the Egg Salad Sandwiches: Use hard-boiled eggs that are freshly cooked and peeled. This will ensure that the egg salad is flavorful and not dry.
- Add your favorite mix-ins to the egg salad, such as chopped celery, onion, or pickles. You can also add a dollop of mayonnaise or mustard for extra flavor.
- Serve the tea sandwiches immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
