Made as written for ZWT6, it was really fun to find this recipe & make it for my lunch. Braudterta is the Icelandic word for this popular triple-decker sandwich, but your recipe is definitely a cut above the norm for the genre. IMO the zing the lemon zest creates that difference ~ not at all subtle, just pleasantly prominent. It was paired with Recipe #372527 by Deantini & made for a very filling & tasty lunch. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)

Excellent sandwich! What's not to love about up-scale egg salad and trout salad? I basically winged the amounts on ingredients because I wanted to scale down to 1 sandwich but couldn't as the yield on the recipe is for only 1 sandwich (although the recipe makes 4 sandwiches). That said, everything worked out just fine, and DS and I each enjoyed half for lunch today.
