- Versatile Meal: Ideal for breakfast, lunch, or even a snack, this sandwich is easy to pack and perfect for on-the-go.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized eggs (approximately 200g or 7 oz)
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise (about 60g or 2.1 oz)
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander (approximately 5g or 0.18 oz)
- A pinch of salt (about 1g or 0.04 oz)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (approximately 1g or 0.04 oz)
- 4 slices of bread (about 120g or 4.2 oz)
Directions:
- Boil the eggs: Place 4 medium-sized eggs in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Let them cook for 8-10 minutes until hard-boiled. Once done, cool the eggs under cold water and peel them.
- Separate the eggs: Cut the boiled eggs in half. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the egg whites on a cutting board and the yolks in a mixing bowl.
- Prepare the filling: Dice the egg whites into small chunks. In the bowl with the egg yolks, mash them until smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander, a pinch of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and the diced egg whites. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Assemble the sandwich: Take a slice of bread and spread a generous amount of the egg mayo mixture on it. Top with another slice of bread to make a sandwich.
- Serve: Cut the sandwich into halves or quarters, and enjoy it as a satisfying snack or a part of your meal.
Notes:
- Substitutions: If you prefer a bit of tang, you can add a teaspoon of mustard or a dash of lemon juice to the egg mayo mixture. For a touch of spice, sprinkle in some paprika or chili flakes.
- Bread Options: While white bread is classic, this sandwich pairs wonderfully with whole grain, sourdough, or rye bread for added flavor and texture.
- Storage Tip: If you’re not eating the sandwiches right away, keep them wrapped in cling film or in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
