Egg Salad on Potato Chive Focaccia

I've never made egg salad with curry powder before and I've also never made it without onion. I have to say, Martha Stewart's recipe for egg salad was pretty good in my book. I served mine on fancy bread but you can serve it on whatever - whole wheat bread, kaiser rolls - even crackers.

You need:
  • 9 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup prepared mayonnaise
  • 1 celery rib , diced into small pieces
  • 3/4 teaspoon mustard powder or 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Madras curry powder , optional you can also add cayenne pepper instead of the mustards if you like a spicy flavor
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 small radicchio or 1/2 c arugula, washed and spun dry
  • 8 -12 slices Potato Chive Focaccia (found in the bakery of a gourmet grocery)
Directions:

  1. In medium bowl, place eggs, mayonnaise, celery, mustard powder, curry powder, salt, and pepper and gently mix until combined.
  2. You can toast the bread or leave it untoasted and spread an additional layer of mayonnaise on each half of bread. Line half of the slices with radicchio or arugula leaves. Spread with an even layer of egg salad. Top with remaining slice of bread.
