This recipe came from an Hellman's Mayonnaise ad in the '60s. It is a delicious company recipe - very attractive too.
Curried Eggs on Rice
1 cup Hellman's Real Mayonnaise (substitutes make this a less-tasty but lighter dish - don't use Miracle Whip which is a salad dressing, not a mayonnaise)
1 cup dairy sour cream (or plain yogurt - again - lighter taste)
3 oz can of sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup milk
1 TBSP cooking wine (white) or lemon juice
2 TBSP curry (your choice - they range from hot to mild, tastes differ as well)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups hot rice (white, brown, even the non-rice wild rice)
Six hard-cooked eggs, peeled
Mix first 8 ingredients in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly 4 - 5 minutes until warm through.
Slice eggs and arrange in a pleasing pattern over rice that has been put into a baking dish. (8x8x2).
Spoon curry mixture over the eggs and rice.
Bake at 325 degrees F. 15 minutes.
Enjoy in peace. Ignore the calories and fat - this is a once in awhile dish - and delicious.
