Directions

  2. MIX the canola oil and olive oil into a measuring cup with a spout. MINCE the garlic and SPRINKLE with 1/2 tsp. of salt. CONTINUE mincing and mashing the garlic and salt together with your knife until a paste forms. ADD the garlic paste and egg yolk to a bowl and WHISK together until combined. WHISK in mustard. Slowly DRIZZLE a few drops of the oil mixture while whisking until the mixture is emulsified. Gradually DRIZZLE the rest of the oil in increments whisking constantly, ensuring the mixture does not separate. STIR in the lemon juice and zest. ADD salt to taste, if needed.
  3. MASH the hard-boiled eggs in a large bowl with a fork. STIR in chives, pickled celery, hot paprika, 1 tsp. kosher salt, black pepper, and aioli. MIX all ingredients together and ADD salt if needed.
  4. HEAT a large griddle. SPREAD the butter on both sides of the bread, and GRILL until golden brown and crisp.
  5. PLACE the lettuce and heirloom tomato on a slice of grilled bread, TOP with egg salad, and then another piece of grilled bread.
