It’s like a cupcake turducken! Oh, that’s a terrible comparison. It’s so much sweeter than that. It’s a cupcake in a cupcake topped with a cupcake. Because you can never have too much cupcake. Plus, I appreciate a self-aware cupcake. Find the how-tos HERE at Nina’s Kleiner Food-Blog (translation tool available).

Ina Garten Egg Salad Recipe: Creamy Tartines and Easy Lunch Ideas
Egg salad is one of those lunches we sometimes forget about until we have a few boiled eggs sitting in the fridge. Then suddenly it sounds like exactly what we want. Creamy filling, decent bread, perhaps a little greenery on the side. Nothing complicated, just a proper lunch.
If you’ve been searching for the Ina Garten egg salad recipe, her Egg Salad Tartines are a lovely place to start. They take a familiar sandwich filling and serve it generously on toasted bread, with fresh herbs giving the finished dish a little lift.
And before the word “tartine” makes you think you need special equipment or a French kitchen, it simply means an open-faced sandwich. We can absolutely manage that.
You’ll find the full ingredient quantities and instructions in Ina Garten’s official Egg Salad Tartines recipe. Here’s what to know before making it, plus easy ways to serve egg salad for lunch, brunch or a small gathering.
What Is in Ina Garten’s Egg Salad?
The version published on the Barefoot Contessa website uses eggs, mayonnaise, sweet relish, whole-grain mustard and fresh dill or chives, with salt and pepper for seasoning.
It’s served on toasted whole-grain bread. The recipe makes six tartines, serving three to six people, depending on appetites and what else you put on the table.
The sweet relish is worth noticing if your usual egg salad is simply eggs and mayonnaise. It brings a different flavor to the filling, while the mustard and herbs help balance the richness.
Does Ina Garten Put Truffle Butter in Egg Salad?
You may also have seen recent articles discussing an Ina Garten egg salad variation with white truffle butter.
That is a different version from the Egg Salad Tartines recipe linked above. The published tartine recipe uses sweet relish and whole-grain mustard and does not list truffle butter.
If you’re following a particular video or recipe, stick with that version’s ingredients. Combining details from several recipes can leave you wondering why your lunch tastes nothing like the one you
I followed the link and where it said translate the blog there were no options 🙁 I want to know this recipe so bad!!
The creativity is impressive, but whenever I see one of these projects with a design inside a cupcake I think, who slices a cupcake in half before eating it? It seems like a lot of work given that most people bite into a cupcake and wouldn’t even see the design.
I totally agree that it is a lot of work for someone just to bite into it!! 🙂
