Busy mornings don’t always allow for elaborate cooking, but that doesn’t mean you have to skip a warm, satisfying bite. When you’re short on time but craving comfort, a creamy egg mayo sandwich with just the right hint of mustard and butter is the perfect solution. With a handful of basic ingredients, you can whip up a cozy breakfast in no time.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 4 slices of sandwich bread
- 2 eggs
- 20g (2 pats) of butter
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp mustard
- A pinch of salt
- A dash of pepper
- Parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Boil the eggs
Place the eggs in a pot and boil for 12 minutes until fully cooked. Cool them in cold water and peel.
2. Mash the eggs
Place the boiled eggs in a bowl and mash them finely with a fork or potato masher.
3. Mix the filling
Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed eggs and mix well. If using salted butter later, you can skip the salt here.
4. Prepare the bread
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. If the butter is too hard, soften it in the microwave for a few seconds or lightly toast the bread in a pan.
5. Assemble the sandwich
Spread the egg mixture on a slice of bread, then top it with another slice to complete the sandwich.
6. Slice and serve
Cut the sandwich in half and plate it. Sprinkle with parsley for a more appetizing presentation.
This egg mayo sandwich is a quick and easy breakfast you can make with pantry staples. For an even faster morning routine, prepare the egg mixture the night before and store it in the fridge. Start your day with a bite of this creamy, savory sandwich and a warm cup of coffee or tea. Simple, but so satisfying.
