What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Food Junkie Favorites: Marble Rye Deli Classic! One of the most sophisticated breads around is the marble rye with its identifiable dark swirls in geometric design. Did you know that cocoa powder is responsible for this transformation? Truth. Another little secret about marble rye is when eaten for breakfast, it actually keeps hunger pangs at bay for the rest of the morning. I like that idea, which is why an egg salad sandwich on rye is often my choice. The next time you pass by the deli, pick up a loaf of bakery fresh marble rye bread.
MARBLE RYE DELI CLASSIC
Ingredients:
4 slices marble rye bread
1 tablespoon butter
4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
Salt and pepper to taste
2 slices red onion
Curly endive lettuce
Instructions:
Toast and butter the marble rye bread. Set aside. Using a mini chopper, pulse the eggs to bite size crumbles. Mix together the chopped egg and mayonnaise. Fold in celery seed. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. To assemble sandwich, place the lettuce on the rye bread. Next spread the egg salad. Layer with red onion slices. Top with another slice of buttered marble rye bread. Voilà! A Deli-style egg salad sandwich.
I did not know that about the cocoa, but it makes sense! This sandwich looks and sounds yummy.

I had no idea about the cocoa, that’s so interesting! And an appetite suppressant? Crazy. But I believe it! Also makes a heckuva Reuben.😋
