4 slices bacon

4 cucumbers, peeled & thinly sliced
4 tablespoons vinegar (can use apple cider vinegar)

OPEN FACE SANDWICHES

Eggs are tasty and healthy but they can be fun too! Make these Open Face Sandwiches for a nutritious and delicious meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise, plus more for spreading
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 slices sandwich bread
Sliced ham, lettuce, sliced olives, peas, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, pickles, and grated carrot, for toppings

Steps:

  • Make egg salad: In a medium saucepan, cover eggs with water. Bring to a boil; cook, uncovered, 2 minutes. Cover pan, and remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes. Hold eggs under cold running water to stop the cooking. Peel eggs.
  • Slice 2 eggs with a knife or an egg slicer. Set aside eight of the slices for eyes, and place remaining pieces in a bowl. Add unsliced eggs to bowl, and mash with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper; stir to combine.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over each slice of bread. Cover bread with egg salad, or layer on sliced ham. Make faces using the egg-yolk slices, egg salad, and the remaining toppings, as desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Select fresh and crispy cucumbers: The freshness and crispness of cucumbers play a vital role in enhancing the overall taste of the salad sandwiches. Choose cucumbers that are firm, have a deep green color, and are free from blemishes or bruises.
  • Use high-quality bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon that has a good balance of fat and lean meat. This will ensure that the bacon is crispy and flavorful when cooked.
  • Cook the bacon properly: Cook the bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. If you prefer crispy bacon, cook it until it is golden brown and slightly charred around the edges.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is the key to adding flavor and richness to the salad sandwiches. Use a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and fresh herbs like dill or chives. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
  • Assemble the sandwiches carefully: To prevent the sandwiches from becoming soggy, toast the bread slices lightly before assembling. Layer the ingredients evenly, starting with the bread, followed by the bacon, cucumber slices, and dressing. Top with another slice of bread.

Conclusion:

Open-faced bacon and cucumber salad sandwiches are a delightful and refreshing meal that combines the classic flavors of bacon, cucumber, and a tangy dressing. With its simple preparation and delicious taste, this sandwich recipe is perfect for summer picnics, potlucks, or as a light and satisfying lunch or dinner option. Experiment with different bread types, toppings, and dressings to create your own unique variations and enjoy a flavorful and satisfying meal.
