Curried Egg Sandwich

This post is what tempted me to make this delicious sandwich. I've had plain egg sandwiches before and though I ate them, simply because it was the only vegetarian option available at that place and time, I can't say I loved them - I found them too bland and overly creamy for my taste. But this one from Stefanie's blog is so flavorful and the spiced up, caramelized onions make this extremely delicious. I pretty much followed her recipe but made a couple of changes and it made for a lip-smacking lunch along with some oranges.

CURRIED EGG SANDWICH


Ingredients:
Whole wheat bread - 2 slices
Egg - 1, hardboiled & peeled
Red Onion - quarter cup, chopped
Mayonnaise - 1 tsp
Mustard - a dash (not seeds but the condiment)
Sambar powder - half tsp
Salt & pepper to taste
Spinach leaves - to serve
Oil - 1 tsp

Method:
1) This is the method I usually use to hardboil eggs. Place egg in a small pan and add enough water to just cover it. Heat and bring the water to a boil. Let this boil for about 3 to 4 minutes. Switch off the flame, cover the saucepan and let sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. Perfectly hard-boiled eggs are ready. Now peel and cut into small cubes.

2) Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp of oil in a small pan and add the chopped onions, after about 3 minutes toss in a bit of salt and the sambar powder. Cook till they are browned and caramelized, stirring constantly.

3) In a small bowl, combine the chopped eggs, caramelized onions, mayonnaise, dash of mustard & salt and pepper to taste.

4) Toast the 2 slices of bread and layer one slice with washed and dried spinach leaves. Top with the egg mixture evenly, place another layer of spinach leaves and finally the second slice of bread. Enjoy !

  11. Would love to sink my teeth into that! The creamy, bland standard egg sandwiches will benefit from a liberal dose of salt, pepper and herbs - I like those too!

    Thanks Uma.

    A & N you are too kind.

    Medhaa, I hope you do.. :)

    Thank you Kalai, Sowmya & Dhivya.

    Rachel, yeah.. curry powder is something I definitey don't have but i've always found that sambar works as a great substitute. When added to noodles, it gives a little bit of the maggi flavour.

    I agree Nags - thanks.

    VP - nice to know.. :)

    Bhags, I'm not a fan of bland food.. have to spice it up someway. :)
