contents Let $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_p^2$ be a set of size $2p+1$ for prime $p\geq 5$. In this paper, we prove that $A\hat{+}A=\{a_1+a_2\mid a_1,a_2\in A, a_1\neq a_2\}$ has cardinality at least $4p$. This result is the first advancement in over two decades on a variant of the Erdős-Heilbronn problem studied by Eliahou and Kervaire.
