Ingredients

  • 3 egg white eggs preferable (they're easier to peel, large
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • black pepper to taste, freshly ground
To assemble:
  • 4-6 lices sandwich bread lightly toasted
  • 1 beet roasted and thinly sliced, large
  • microgreens baby arugula or watercress, spicy

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place eggs in a saucepan covered by an inch or two of cold water. Bring to a full boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit, off the heat, for 10 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon and into a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process.
  2. Once cool, peel eggs, then coarsely chop and place in a bowl along with mayo, mustard, paprika, salt and pepper. Fold to combine.
  3. To assemble, arrange a single layer of beet on a piece of toasted bread. Top with half of egg mixture, and a handful of greens, followed by another piece of bread. Cut in half and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To roast beets, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Rub washed, unpeeled beets with a bit of olive oil, then wrap individually in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet and roast until tender (time may vary, but generally about 30 minutes for golf-ball sized beets and up to an hour or more for baseball-sized). Let cool, then rub with a paper towel to easily remove the skins.
