KITTENCAL'S EGG OR TUNA AND OLIVE SALAD SANDWICHES



Kittencal's Egg or Tuna and Olive Salad Sandwiches image

This is so good you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the bowl for a taste! ---it's great in a sandwich stuffed in a pita or scooped on a large lettuce leaf, I have served this many times for a luncheon get together and everyone loves it! --- the amounts listed are usually what I use for 8 eggs but the exact measurements do not really matter just use whatever you wish for the amount of eggs you make, I purchase the pimento-stuffed olives for this and I say the more you use the better! after slicing the olives make certain to hand-squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible --- plan ahead slightly the mixture needs to chill for a few hours before using.

TUNA MELT WITH EGG



Tuna Melt with Egg image

I got this recipe when I was working at a restaurant, when I was a teenager, that is no longer in business. I like the tuna salad in it because it is a little different then most. And this sandwich is just a little different then most. I serve this with small relish tray of olives, pickles or cucumbers, green onions, pickled beets, pickled okra, and sliced tomatoes. Plus a salad of some sort, like a corn salad or pasta salad.

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON



Tuna With Capers, Olives and Lemon image

This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

EGG SALAD SANDWICHES WITH GREEN OLIVE, CELERY AND PARSLEY



Egg Salad Sandwiches With Green Olive, Celery and Parsley image

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.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     snack, finger foods, sandwiches, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 12 open-face sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs, boiled 9 minutes, chilled in ice water and peeled
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, cut on the diagonal

Salt and pepper

Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 slices challah bread
Unsalted butter, at room temperature
A handful of arugula leaves

Steps:

  • Chop eggs into large rough pieces and put in a medium bowl. Add scallions and celery and season with salt and pepper. Add olives, red pepper, parsley and olive oil. Toss to combine and mash lightly with a fork to amalgamate. (Combine just before serving to keep the mixture fresh looking.)
  • Lay bread slices on a work surface and butter each generously. Spread 2 or 3 tablespoons egg mixture on each. Top each slice with a few arugula leaves.
  • Cut each slice in half diagonally and serve. If desired, cut into bite-size pieces.
