TARRAGON-CAPER EGG SALAD SANDWICHES WITH SMOKED SALMON



Tarragon-Caper Egg Salad Sandwiches with Smoked Salmon image

Categories     Sandwich     Egg     Salmon     Tarragon     Capers     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 hard-boiled large eggs, peeled
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons drained capers, rinsed and finely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
6 (4- to 5-inch) soft round seeded rolls, split
18 watercress sprigs, tough stems discarded
1/4 lb sliced smoked salmon

Steps:

  • Mash eggs coarsely with a fork, then stir in shallot, tarragon, capers, mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste. Make sandwiches with rolls, egg salad, watercress, and salmon.

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients are key to a successful egg salad. Use the freshest eggs you can find, and make sure the tarragon and shallots are fresh and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be rubbery and tough, so be careful not to boil them for too long. Aim for a soft or medium-boiled egg for the best results.
  • Mash the eggs gently. Over-mashing the eggs will make the egg salad too smooth and pasty. Instead, use a fork to gently mash the eggs until they are just broken up.
  • Use a good mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in egg salad, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add some extras. Feel free to add other ingredients to your egg salad, such as chopped celery, red onion, or pickles. You could also add a dash of Dijon mustard or horseradish for a little extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Tarragon shallot egg salad sandwiches are a delicious and easy lunch option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a picnic, a potluck, or a quick meal on the go. The combination of tarragon, shallots, and eggs is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying lunch, give tarragon shallot egg salad sandwiches a try.
