Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious carrot remoulade. Wash, peel, and finely julienne the 400g of carrots. Place the julienned carrots into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt to the julienned carrots and mix thoroughly with your hands. Let the carrots sit for 15 minutes. This salting process draws out moisture, enhancing their crisp texture and intensifying their natural sweetness.
Step 3
After 15 minutes, you have a choice on how to use the salted carrots. You can use them directly for a moist remoulade, or squeeze out the excess liquid for a drier, crisper version. Today, we’ll use them directly for a moister remoulade.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine 1.5 tablespoons of whole grain mustard, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1.5 tablespoons of honey, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk these dressing ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust the amount of lemon juice and honey to suit your preference for sweetness and tanginess. You can also add fresh herbs for extra flavor.
Step 5
Pour the prepared dressing over the carrots and mix gently until everything is well coated. Transfer the finished carrot remoulade to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This resting period will make it even more delicious, though it can be enjoyed immediately.
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the bread for the sandwich. We’re using two slices of whole wheat bread. If you prefer a milder taste, feel free to use white bread or a crusty baguette.
Step 7
Toast the bread slices in a preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) for about 4 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Once toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Toasting adds a delightful crunch to the sandwich.
Step 8
In another bowl, crack 2 eggs and scramble them. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper while whisking for better flavor. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired consistency.
Step 9
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice. This not only adds flavor but also acts as a ‘glue’ to help the other ingredients adhere to the bread.
Step 10
Next, layer your fresh greens on top of the mayonnaise. We’re using lettuce leaves or romaine. Feel free to use any other salad greens you have on hand. Be generous with the greens!
Step 11
Gently place the fluffy scrambled eggs over the greens, followed by a generous heap of the prepared carrot remoulade. The crisp, tangy remoulade will add a fantastic burst of flavor to the sandwich.
Step 12
Finally, sprinkle some chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color, and top with a slice of cheese. I’ve used Parmesan cheese here, but any cheese you like, such as cheddar or mozzarella, will work wonderfully. For an even richer sandwich, consider adding bacon or ham. Enjoy your delicious creation!
