Spicy Avocado Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches

Spicy avocado egg salad sandwiched between chewy pumpernickel bread slices. Perfect texture contrast and flavor combination!

You guys, I’ve been so spoiled for the last couple of weeks here in my childhood home in Mongolia.

I practically didn’t cook since end of May, not because I don’t want to, but because my mom is cooking for me 3 times a day every day. And I’m not complaining! After all, I get this chance only once a year. 🙂

But I did make a batch of french macarons and a cheesecake for my family last week though. Everyone loved them!

Anyway, I made these spicy avocado egg salad tea sandwiches back in May. It was a huge hit with my american family (<- that sounds really funny!)

And when I say spicy, I don’t mean just mild, barely-noticeable spice. You’re going to really feel the bite in the salad! If you’re not into anything spicy, add the spices in small amount until you’re happy.

I wanted to keep the salad simple with fewer flavor profiles: creamy avocados, hard boiled eggs mixed with sour cream, and few hot spices and sauces. 

The ultra-creamy egg salad pairs beautifully with pumpernickel bread. The contrast from the bread is awesome.

Easy-peasy, yes?

Make it for a quick and tasty afternoon snack, or lunch. Also they’re elegant enough to serve at a tea party, or cocktail party.

Hope you give them a try. Have a wonderful weekend!

• Then cut each bread into 3 small tea sandwiches. Serve immediately.
