sliced egg sandwich – smitten kitchen

When issues are quiet round right here, considered one of two issues are often taking place: I’m busy with a aspect undertaking or touring removed from the bodily Smitten Kitchen. Or, I’m actually obsessive about consuming one thing that I don’t anticipate to curiosity anybody however me. This month we’ve two for 2. For the three weeks earlier than I used to be briefly in San Francisco and Napa final week, I used to be completely fixated on this sandwich. Fixated! I craved it on a regular basis. Generally it was breakfast; generally it was lunch. I might stroll by a bagel store wafting with heat all the pieces seeds, by a cloud of bodega bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, and nonetheless beeline dwelling to place a chilly boiled egg on a roll with arugula. I do know I make no sense. I made a decision to maintain this weirdo factor myself however then I returned from California and sure, I had a suitcase filled with Mannequin Bakery english muffins and a stash of Dandelion Chocolate scorching chocolate combine, and I nonetheless simply wanted this. I’ve lastly accepted that the one approach to transfer on, at the least for lengthy sufficient that I might sort out the remainder of the superb issues I’ve on our cooking agenda for the summer season, was to exorcise it, whether or not anybody cares to hitch in my unusual little preoccupation or not.

Consider this like a deviled egg, unmixed, or deconstructed egg salad sandwich. The necessities listed here are a sliced just-about-hard-boiled egg (I cease at 9.5 minutes), a challah roll or slices (however brioche or a potato bread would), a terrific fistful of arugula, and what I think about the proper sandwich unfold — some mayo, sharp dijon, coarse dijon, and ready horseradish. A shot of scorching sauce will not be unwelcome; the combination must be sharp. Between the egg and the arugula, I at all times have a skinny layer of one thing and it’s completely different nearly each time, often leftover from one other dish — caramelized onions, pickled shallots, shaved fennel I’d tossed in lemon juice and olive oil, cucumber, and right here, some thinly-sliced pickles and celery — and each single one is ideal. I can’t select a favourite and I gained’t ask you to. Please have enjoyable with it.
