Smoked Salmon and Egg Salad Tartines

Smoked salmon and egg salad tartines - simple open-faced sandwiches with and elegant, dilly, and mustardy egg salad.

This egg salad is wonderful in sandwiches with soft white or whole wheat sandwich bread. It's also excellent for tea sandwiches.

This egg salad is also light on the mayonnaise and extra vegetables so the dill flavor really shines.

What makes this egg salad special?

• First, the fresh dill. I love fresh dill and the delicate flavor it adds. 
• The mustard in this egg salad is whole grained. The whole grain mustard I used is somewhat like Dijon, but the seeds are not completely ground so that the mustard has some texture. I love the extra pop of flavor when biting into a seed. 
• Normally, when I make egg salad, I roughly chop the eggs toss in the mayo, mustard, and veggies such as onions, celery, and/or pickles. In this case, I used a Microplane grater meant for Parmesan cheese to achieve a smooth texture. 
• Finally, the mayonnaise ratio in this egg salad is really small, which makes this extra "eggy." So good. 

Do you have company coming for lunch? This egg salad is also wonderful paired with thinly sliced smoked salmon and toast for tartines. 

What are tartines?

French in origin, tartines are essentially open faced sandwiches with a fancy name. I'm a big fan of fancy names! 

You can use any kind of pain grillé (toast.... keeping it fancy) for tartines. I used sliced pain au levain for the toasts. I also recommend using a 40 percent whole grain bread for slicing and toasting. A good rye would also be amazing. 

These egg salad tartines are wonderful for entertaining at lunch or tea. 

I garnished the egg salad with a bit of chopped chives and a little extra dill for "looks," but it's not necessary. 

How to serve smoked salmon and egg salad tartines: 

Top a piece of toasted bread with thinly sliced smoked salmon and spread some of the egg salad over the salmon. Garnish with finely chopped chives or more dill.
