Main Ingredients- 4 slices of bread
- 4 eggs
- 2 slices of sandwich ham
- 1/4 cucumber
Sauces & Seasonings- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp ketchup (optional)
- 2 pinches of salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp ketchup (optional)
- 2 pinches of salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing and preparing all your sandwich ingredients. Starting with fresh components is the key to a delicious sandwich.
Step 2
Place the eggs in boiling water and cook for about 12 minutes to achieve hard-boiled eggs. This cooking time ensures the eggs are firm and perfect for mashing into the sandwich filling.
Step 3
In a dry skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwich ham slices for about 2 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned and fragrant. This step enhances the ham’s flavor, adding depth to your sandwich.
Step 4
Slice the cucumber thinly, about 0.3 cm thick. This crisp element is crucial for texture, so aim for even, thin slices.
Step 5
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the sliced cucumber and let it sit for about 5 minutes to draw out moisture. Gently squeeze out any excess water from the cucumber slices to prevent a soggy sandwich.
Step 6
Once the eggs are hard-boiled, peel them and finely chop them with a knife. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can chop them more coarsely or even dice them.
Step 7
In a bowl, combine the chopped eggs with mayonnaise, salt, sugar, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed, creating your creamy and savory egg filling.
Step 8
Spread a thin layer of ketchup onto one side of a slice of bread. The ketchup adds a nice tang, but feel free to omit it if you prefer.
Step 9
Generously spoon the prepared egg mixture onto the ketchup-spread bread slice, spreading it evenly.
Step 10
Arrange the drained cucumber slices neatly over the egg filling.
Step 11
Place the browned ham slices on top of the cucumber. The saltiness of the ham balances the other flavors beautifully.
Step 12
Top everything with the second slice of bread to complete the sandwich. Gently press down to help the filling settle.
Step 13
Carefully trim off the crusts of the sandwich with a knife, then slice it into your desired portions. Your delicious Ham and Egg Sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed!
