Main Ingredients- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (approx. 100ml)
- 6-8 slices of bread
Seasoning & Others- Pinch of salt (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- Splash of vinegar (approx. 1 tsp)
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)
- Pinch of salt (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- Splash of vinegar (approx. 1 tsp)
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, to perfectly hard-boil the eggs, fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs. Add 1/2 tsp of salt to the water to prevent the eggs from cracking during boiling.
Step 2
Adding salt helps prevent eggshells from cracking and also keeps the yolk centered while cooking. Furthermore, add about 1 tsp of vinegar to the boiling water; this helps make the eggshells easier to peel. Boil over medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes until the eggs are completely hard-boiled (for all 8 eggs).
Step 3
Immediately transfer the boiled eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool them down. This step makes peeling the shells much easier. Once cooled, carefully peel all the shells off the eggs.
Step 4
Place the peeled hard-boiled eggs in a bowl and mash them using a fork until they are well broken down, but avoid making them too mushy; leaving some texture is nice. Ensure there are no large lumps remaining.
Step 5
Add black pepper to the mashed eggs according to your preference. This enhances the flavor and adds a pleasant aroma, helping to mask any eggy smell.
Step 6
To season, add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. You can adjust the amount based on the saltiness of your mayonnaise and your personal taste. It’s best to start with a little and add more after tasting.
Step 7
Now it’s time to combine everything into a creamy filling. Add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and gently mix with a spatula or fork until the eggs and seasonings are evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the egg filling too mushy.
Step 8
Lay out your sandwich bread slices. Generously spread the creamy egg salad mixture onto the bread slices, ensuring it covers the surface evenly from edge to edge for maximum flavor in every bite.
Step 9
Place the other slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich, then cut it into desired portions. Using a sharp knife or a sandwich knife will help you cut cleanly. You can cut it in half or into four triangles.
Step 10
Congratulations! Your simple yet satisfyingly delicious egg sandwich is ready. Enjoy it with a cold coffee or your favorite beverage. It’s the perfect breakfast or a delightful picnic snack!
