Introduction
A fresh and vibrant orientation meal crafted from local Utah produce featuring tuna and caper deviled eggs, roasted summer squash and mozzarella focaccia sandwiches, and a crisp melon cucumber herb salad.
Step 1
【Niçoise-Style Deviled Eggs】Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Step 2
【Niçoise-Style Deviled Eggs】Gently lower 24 eggs directly into the boiling water with a slotted spoon. Boil for approximately 11 minutes.
Step 3
【Roasted Squash Sandwiches】Slice zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into thick slabs. Heat an electric griddle, drizzle with olive oil, season squash with salt, and sear on both sides until browned and tender.
Step 4
【Niçoise-Style Deviled Eggs】Drain the boiling water from the eggs and immediately run cold tap water over them until cooled.
Step 5
【Roasted Squash Sandwiches】Slice focaccia loaves horizontally, drizzle the cut sides generously with olive oil, layer with seared squash slabs, and place in a preheated oven to warm and toast.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Niçoise-Style Deviled Eggs: Adding eggs directly to boiling water rather than cold water helps ensure the shell membrane releases cleanly when peeling.
Niçoise-Style Deviled Eggs: Pressing capers in a paper towel absorbs excess brine and flattens them so they don't roll around on the cutting board when chopped.
Roasted Squash Sandwiches: Searing squash over high heat caramelizes the exterior while keeping a tender-crisp texture that holds up well inside sandwiches.
Melon Salad: Using a vibrant mix of fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, basil) alongside citrus juice and olive oil enhances melon sweetness without becoming overly dessert-like.
