    Title: Egg Salad
    Categories: Eggs, Salads, Chilies
    Yield: 2 Servings

    2 lg Hard-cooked eggs; peeled
    - chilled
    1 tb Green onion; finely chopped
    1 tb Celery; finely chopped with
    - leaves
    1/2 ts Salt
    ds Fresh ground pepper
    3 tb Lemon Mayonnaise
    1/2 ts Hot pepper; hot prepared

    Finely dice the eggs; mix thouroughly with all other
    ingredients. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or until
    flavors are well blended. Mound on crisp lettuce, garnished
    with a dash of paprika, and serve as a salad. This also may
    be used as a spread for crackers. (I would use for a
    sandwich to go with a salad on a hot, hot day.)

    Title: Konbi's Egg Salad Sandwich
    Categories: Breads, Condiments, Eggs
    Yield: 4 servings

    Ice cubes; for ice baths
    1 Scallion; very thin sliced
    1 tb Kewpie mayonnaise; more for
    - spreading on bread
    1 tb Creme fraiche
    1 1/2 ts Rice wine vinegar
    1 1/2 ts Dijon mustard; more for
    - spreading on bread
    Salt
    12 lg Eggs
    Flaky sea salt
    8 sl Milk bread, brioche or white
    - sandwich bread

    Fill a large pot with water, leaving a few inches of
    space at the top, and bring to a boil over high.

    Prepare 2 ice baths in 2 medium bowls.

    Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, stir
    together the scallion, mayonnaise, crème fraîche,
    vinegar and mustard. Season to taste with kosher salt.

    Once the water reaches a boil, gently drop in all 12
    eggs and let the water come back to a boil. As soon as
    it does so, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the
    eggs at a gentle simmer, 8 minutes. Transfer 6
    soft-boiled eggs to one ice bath. Continue to cook the
    remaining 6 eggs until hard-boiled, another 6 minutes,
    then transfer them to the second ice bath. Let sit, 5
    minutes. Crack all cooked egg shells by gently hitting
    them all over with the back of a spoon.

    Working directly in the bowl, peel the hard-boiled eggs,
    keeping them partly immersed (the water helps loosen the
    shells). Transfer the hard-boiled eggs to a cutting
    board and chop them into 1/4-inch pieces. Gently fold
    the chopped eggs into the egg salad dressing using a
    rubber spatula. Season to taste with kosher salt.

    Working directly in the second bowl, carefully peel the
    soft-boiled eggs. Transfer the peeled eggs to the
    cutting board and slice them in half lengthwise. The
    yolks should be creamy but not runny. If the yolks are
    runny, make another batch of soft-boiled eggs. (You’ll
    only need 1 soft-boiled egg per sandwich, so snack on
    any extra or imperfectly peeled pieces with some flaky
    sea salt, if desired.)

    Slather mustard on 1 side of 4 bread slices and
    mayonnaise on 1 side of the remaining 4 bread slices.
    Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the halved soft-boiled eggs.
    Arrange 2 halves down the center of each slice of
    mustard-slathered bread, laying them yolk side down, and
    positioning them so the narrower tips point outward
    toward the crust of the bread and the wider, rounder
    portions (with the yolks) are in the middle of the
    bread. Place both halves close enough so that they touch
    in the center of the bread.

    Divide the egg salad among the sandwiches, gently
    plopping 1/2-cup scoops of egg salad on top of each pair
    of soft-boiled eggs on each of the 4 bread slices. Using
    an offset spatula, spread the egg salad evenly toward
    the crusts in all directions until bread is covered.

    Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side
    down. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the crusts
    off on the left and the right sides of each sandwich.
    (These should be the 2 sides that are parallel to the
    soft-boiled eggs.)

    Rotate each sandwich 90° and cut each sandwich into
    thirds, cutting parallel to the crust sides of the
    sandwiches, creating a beautiful exposed cross section.
    Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours.
