Last weekend I was making a dessert that involved piping on some whipped cream, and it occurred to me that I really need to take a cake decorating class because I love piping and would like to learn fancier ways of doing it! Meanwhile, I was also craving some egg salad, and it struck me that piping egg salad into or on a tea sandwich might be fun.
But it would need to be a creamy egg salad, not a chunky egg salad, because chunks wouldn't squeeze through the piping tip on a pastry bag.
So I made up a super easy egg salad recipe that worked beautifully.Creamy Egg Salad
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet relish
Combine all ingredients in food processor until very creamy and mixture resembles a dip or spread. Pipe onto or into sandwiches as desired. Yields about 3/4 cup spread.
I took this photo just after piping the egg salad onto the sandwiches. I placed them in the refrigerator and the piped egg salad held its shape quite well, so I would probably make these ahead of time and let them chill so the shape will "set" before serving.REMINDER: Coming Monday is my announcement about a major project I've been working on. I hope you'll stop by to see what it is!
Great idea,thanks for sharing.They look wnderful,perfect for all of our tea parties.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice idea for a pretty egg tea sandwich. It's handy that they can be made ahead too.
ReplyDeleteI bought the Wilton decorating books (same as they use for the classes) off ebay for next to nothing a few years ago. They are helpful in learning new decorating techniques.
ReplyDeleteI have thought about piping deviled eggs, but was too lazy to try it.
ReplyDeleteYour egg salad piping is very pretty
and dainty !
I took a one day cake decorating course years ago and bought lots of equipment and it sits in the cupboard!
ReplyDeleteMost bloggers pipe the icing on their cupcakes so i should dig my things out and play a little too.
I wouldn't have thought to pipe egg salad, interesting idea.
