Bhubaneswar: At the heart of a great egg sandwich is a creamy egg filling and essential to this are soft boiled, not hard boiled eggs!
Ingredients:
- Soft boiled eggs – The creamy yolk gives you a head start on the creamy sauce so we only need 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise for 6 eggs (4 sandwiches).
- Mayonnaise
- Dijon mustard
- Chives
- Salt
Steps:
- Cook soft boiled eggs and peel (8 minutes in boiling water).
- Mash the eggs using a fork to get it started, then a potato masher. The finer you mash, the creamier your filling! Once well mashed, you’ll see your filling is already semi-creamy.
- Filling – Stir in the mayo, mustard, chives, salt and pepper.
- Spread butter on the bread.
- Spread filling on bread, from edge to edge!
- Crusts – If you’re going for quaint English tea sandwiches, trim the crusts off then cut to your desired shape. The sandwiches pictured in post have been cut into 3 rectangles (4 sandwiches cut into a total of 12 finger sandwiches).
(Tip: You can use any seasoning as per your choice and taste profile. Example: chilliflakes.)
