Egg Sandwich Appetizer
Ingredients
1 Dozen Lage Eggs
2 TB white vinegar
Prepare the eggs
1. Place the eggs on their side in the refrigerator for 24 hours to allow the yolk to center inside of the egg.
2. Place eggs in a pot and add cold water to cover eggs about 2 inches above the eggs. Add the 2 TB white vinegar to the water. This will cause the shells to peel much easier without damaging the eggs.
3. Place the pot on high heat until the water starts to boil. Do not let the eggs boil vigorously because it will cause the eggs to hit against each other and cause them to crack. Once the water comes to a full boil, remove from heat and cover the pot with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the pot for at least 10 minutes before peeling.
Filling
Ingredients
12 cooked egg yolks
1 TB yellow or Dijon mustard
1 cup Miracle Whip Mayonnaise (more or less to desired consistency. The filling should not be runny or loose)
4 TB dill pickle juice
1 tsp fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste.
1. Cut hard boiled eggs in half. Take the half with the larger end and turn it over and cut a small piece of the white off so when you turn it back over it will stand nicely. This will be the bottom half and the remaining halt will be the top. Remove the cooked yolk from both ends and place in a small mixing bowl. Repeat this for all 12 eggs.
2. In the mixing bowl with the cooked egg yolks, use a fork to break up the yolks until they have a fine crumbly consistency. Add all remaining ingredients and mix until the yolks are a smooth mixture. Set aside.
Quick Dill Pickle
Ingredients
Small English or salad cucumbers
2 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1 TB minced fresh dill
1. Using a mandolin, slice cucumbers into rounds. You can peel the cucumbers first if you do not like the peel. I like the peel and the bright green color adds nice color to the finished egg as ell as adds texture.
2. In a small bowl, add all ingredients and whisk together until the salt has dissolved. Add the cucumber slices and allow to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. The longer they remain in the brine, they will develop a stronger flavor. If you have a favorite dill chip that you can pick up at the grocery store, you can use that instead and skip this step. A great store bought dill pickle chip is Grillos!
Assemble the Eggs
1. Fill both the bottom and top halves with the filling. Place a dill pickle chip on top of the bottom half. Add a small piece of green lettuce on top of the dill pickle chip and then top with the filled top half. Place a skewer through the egg to hold it together. Repeat with all 12 eggs.
2. Sprinkle a generous amount of fresh dill in the top of the assembled eggs. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
