Curried Egg Salad on Brioche with Apple and Pistachios
Curry powder and turmeric color the egg salad a deep yellow, and green apple and roasted pistachios add sweetness and crunch. On brioche toasted in butter, it's a café sandwich.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, deep enough to cover the eggs by about 2 cm.

2
Gently lower the eggs into it with a spoon.
3
Turn down the heat slightly and simmer 10 minutes.
⚙ SimmeringStove
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
4
Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes, and peel from the wide end.
Ice bath
💡Cold water right after cooking stops the cooking and separates the membrane from the white: peeling is easy, and the yolk doesn't turn gray.
To assemble
5
Mash the peeled eggs with a fork.
6
Mix with the mayonnaise, yogurt, curry powder, turmeric, green onion, mustard and apple and two-thirds of the pistachios, season with salt and black pepper and chill 20 minutes before serving.
Refrigerator
💡Add the mayonnaise gradually: warm eggs or too much mayonnaise make the salad too soft.
7
Halve the buns, spread the butter on the cut sides and toast in a pan until golden.

8
Pile a generous mound of salad on the bottom half of each bun, scatter the rest of the pistachios on top and set the top alongside.
