Egg Mayo Sandwich
The classic egg mayo sandwich is a timeless treat, perfect for a quick lunch or a leisurely afternoon snack. Its simplicity belies its deliciousness, as the creamy egg salad filling complements the soft bread perfectly. With just a few ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a satisfying and flavorful sandwich.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped chives
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 slices of bread (your preferred type)
- Butter (optional)
Cooking Guide:
- Hard-boil the eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let sit covered for 12 minutes. Run under cold water to cool quickly, then peel.
- Prepare the filling: Chop the hard-boiled eggs finely. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the sandwich: Butter the bread slices if desired. Spread the egg salad mixture evenly on two slices of bread. Top with the remaining bread slices.
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, pass the egg salad mixture through a sieve.
- Add your favorite fillings to the sandwich, such as lettuce, tomato, or bacon.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking. If you prefer a drier filling, use less mayonnaise.
- For a more flavorful sandwich, use homemade mayonnaise.
- To prevent the bread from getting soggy, toast the bread lightly before assembling the sandwich.
