A great Egg Sandwich hinges on creamy egg filling, and soft-boiled eggs are essential for this. The creamy egg yolk create a natural mayonnaise, while the soft-set egg whites melt in your mouth. This egg sandwich epitomizes comfort food with simple yet delicious flavours, made in just 10 minutes. Perfect for breakfast or dinner, serve it with fruit and a refreshing drink.
An egg sandwich is one of the easiest sandwiches to make, especially with pre-boiled eggs. It’s also perfect for using up leftover eggs. This easy recipe combines soft-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard and cilantro for added colour and flavour. It’s delightful in a sandwich and a picnic favourite.
Ingredients needed for Egg Sandwich:
For my perfect egg sandwich, you’ll need these essentials:
Bread: For the best egg sandwiches, use soft white sandwich bread. Perfect for traditional tea sandwiches. Avoid crusty, chewy breads.
Soft boiled Eggs: I prefer to use soft-boiled eggs to avoid rubbery egg whites. The creamy yolk enhances the sauce, requiring less mayonnaise.
Butter: Whipped butter adds richness, creamy and airy texture to the filling.
Mayonnaise: Mayonnaise adds creaminess and richness to the filling.
Kasundi or Grainy Mustard: Mustard adds flavour and a touch of tang. I have used Kasundi, feel free to use grainy mustard or Dijon mustard.
Cilantro: Cilantro adds freshness, burst of flavour and a pop of green in the filling.
Seasoning: The egg sandwich is simply seasoned with salt and pepper.
Serving suggestions:
Pair classic egg sandwich with a cup of tea or coffee, potato chips, french fries, green salad or coleslaw for a perfect meal.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store the egg sandwich up to 4 days in the fridge. Store it in a airtight container to keep it fresh.
Freezing: freezing egg sandwich isn’t ideal due to texture and flavour changes.
