box grater.
Thanks for all of y'alls input...none of my friends had a clue...the event I am making these for is an "old-fashioned tea" and I will be cutting the sandwiches into 4 small squares, so i don't really want to go very heavy on the egg salad - they should be "dainty". I like mayo, a squirt of mustard and a bit of pickle relish along with salt & pepper. If anyone wants to dig out their white gloves, spring hats and tea cups, come on over to my church and join in the fun on April 9!
...If anyone has never tried Duke's mayo it is made in Virginia but available in southern states and some portions of Midwest. Although there is no sugar in it- it is not a diet product. I buy it when I travel to Florida or guests bring it to me from the south. Makes great chocolate cake, as well.
Duke's isn't available around here. I've heard rave reviews from folks who use it. The only mayo I will use is Hellmann's (Best Foods west of the Rockies).
Tip use a wire mess cake stand sitting on a big bowl and press your hard boiled eggs through it.
Thanks Bob I have been into the lakeland shop in Chester and asked for the "thingy" they did not have it.That will work....I have a thingy like THIS that will grate eggs in a heart beat..It's fast!!!
If I may butt in here. One egg per sandwich is plenty, using the following wonderful recipe:
Chop hard-cooked eggs.
Add some softened butter, chopped onion or scallion, some dry mustard, and/or a bit of finely chopped parsely.
Add salt & pepper.
With this filling, you don't have to spread butter or mayonnaise or anything on your bread.
This is my absolute fave. It is so much nicer than the egg sandwich filling made with mayonnaise.
Sorry, Caslon, I meant to specify FRESH parsley. Just a bit - less than the onion or scallion. But when I don't have any fresh parsley, I make do with dried. Not quite the same tho.
That will work....I have a thingy like THIS that will grate eggs in a heart beat..It's fast!!!
Also....Duke's Mayonnaise production plant is still in Greenville South Carolina...The parent company of Dukes is C. F. Sauer with home offices in Richmond Virginia....
