Ingredients for a Satisfying Sandwich- 12 soft morning buns
- 3 fresh eggs
- 120g shredded cabbage
- 1/8 carrot, finely diced
- 3 pinches of salt
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- 12 slices of ham
- 6 slices of cheese
- Pickles, to taste
- Strawberry jam, to taste
- Honey mustard sauce, to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your fresh ingredients for a flavorful sandwich. Wash and thoroughly dry the cabbage and carrot.
Step 2
Finely dice the prepared cabbage and carrot into small cubes, about the size of those used in fried rice for children. This ensures a pleasant texture and that the vegetables blend well with other sandwich fillings.
Step 3
In a large bowl, crack the 3 eggs. Add 3 pinches of salt and whisk gently with a fork or whisk until well combined. Avoid over-whisking; you just want the yolks and whites to be integrated. The salt helps to eliminate any eggy odor and seasons the mixture.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a little oil. Pour in the egg mixture to make an egg patty. You’ll be dividing the egg mixture into three portions to cook. It’s best to cook the egg patty slightly larger than the morning bun, as you’ll trim it to fit later. Making perfect circles can be time-consuming and difficult, so cooking it in a larger, pancake-like shape and then cutting it to size is a more efficient method. Aim to make 3 thick egg patties.
Step 5
Thinly slice the tomatoes, about 0.5 cm thick, to prevent excess moisture from making the sandwich soggy. Cut each of the cooked egg patties into four equal pieces. This size will fit neatly inside the bun without making the sandwich too bulky.
Step 6
To give the sandwich a charming presentation, cut each slice of cheese diagonally in half to form triangles. Gently fold the pointed ends inward to match the curve of the morning bun, so that the tips meet in the center, creating a cute, secure fit. You can also fold the ham slices in half or use two slices if they are small, for an even more substantial filling.
Step 7
Carefully slice the morning buns horizontally, making sure not to cut all the way through if you prefer a hinge. Spread a generous layer of sweet strawberry jam on the inside of one bun half. This adds a delightful fruity sweetness. On the other bun half, spread a layer of zesty honey mustard sauce. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors will enhance the overall taste.
Step 8
Now, assemble the sandwich by layering the ingredients onto the bottom half of the bun. A suggested order is ham, tomato, egg patty, cheese, and pickles. However, feel free to arrange them in any order you prefer! The key is to layer them evenly so they stay put when you take a bite.
Step 9
Place the top half of the morning bun onto the fillings, and your delicious Morning Bun Egg Sandwich is ready to be enjoyed! Each bite will be a delightful mix of soft bun, fluffy egg, crisp vegetables, and savory ham and cheese. Enjoy this delightful treat!
