Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)
I’ve got the perfect list of sandwich ingredients for you! Let’s start with the star of the show – the egg filling. You’ll need 6 soft-boiled eggs, 1 tablespoon of whole egg mayonnaise (I love S&W brand), 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons of finely chopped chives, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of kosher salt.
For bread options, I recommend 8 slices of soft white sandwich bread. Don’t forget the soft salted butter for spreading! If you’re looking for mayonnaise alternatives, Greek yogurt or mashed avocado work great.
- Swap white bread for whole wheat to boost fiber
- Try Hellman’s or Kewpie mayo instead of S&W
- Replace chives with green onions or fresh dill
- Use parsley as an alternative herb for the egg filling
Feel free to get creative with these sandwich ingredients! The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility. You can easily adjust the egg filling to suit your taste or dietary needs. Remember, the key to a great sandwich lies in using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Instructions
I start by making soft-boiled eggs. I put the eggs into boiling water and cook them for 8 minutes. Then, I cool them in ice water and peel them carefully.
Next, I work on the egg mashing. I use a fork to break the eggs. Then, I switch to a potato masher for a creamy texture. This makes the eggs perfect for spreading.
After that, I mix in mayonnaise, mustard, and chives. A little salt and pepper add flavor. Now, it’s time to put the sandwich together. I butter the bread and spread the egg mix all over.
For neat cuts, I chill the sandwiches for an hour. This makes the filling firm, making cutting easy. I can cut them into rectangles, triangles, or squares, depending on what I feel like.
Before I serve, I let the sandwiches warm up to room temperature. This makes the flavors come out the best.
- Soft-boil eggs for 8 minutes
- Mash eggs for creamy consistency
- Mix in condiments and seasonings
- Spread filling on buttered bread
- Chill before cutting
- Serve at room temperature
Tips, Tricks & Storing
I’ve learned some great tips for making perfect egg sandwiches. Use eggs that are at room temperature to avoid cracking. For a smooth filling, mash the eggs well. Don’t add too much salt because eggs don’t need much.
Keeping food safe is very important. Put together sandwiches in the fridge for up to 2 days. Always serve them at room temperature for the best flavor. Here are some tips to save time:
- Boil eggs in advance and refrigerate until needed
- Prep other ingredients the night before
- Assemble sandwiches in the morning for a quick grab-and-go lunch
Don’t use the microwave to store sandwiches because it makes them rubbery. Let the sandwich get to room temperature naturally. Putting sandwiches in the fridge before cutting makes clean slices.
“A well-prepared egg sandwich is a simple pleasure that can brighten any day.”
These tips will help you get better at making egg sandwiches. With practice, you’ll make delicious sandwiches easily!
Recipe Variations & Serving Suggestions
I love trying new things with egg sandwiches. Adding sliced avocado makes them creamy and healthy. It’s a great way to get more good fats.
Feeling bold? Add curry powder for an Indian taste. Tomatoes and lettuce make them crunchy and fresh.
Choosing the right bread is important. Whole grain adds fiber, and rye gives a unique flavor. If you can’t have gluten, there are many gluten-free options.
For a special touch, add crispy bacon or smoked salmon. It makes breakfast even better.
Pair your egg sandwich with a salad or fruit for a full meal. A hot coffee or fresh orange juice is perfect to drink. Or, try a smoothie for something new. These ideas make your sandwich a great breakfast or brunch.
