  • 3 to 4 tablespoon mayonnaise ((or greek yogurt or cream cheese))
  • ¾ to 1 tablespoon mustard (or ⅛ tsp ground mustard (optional))
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper ((ground pepper))
  • Salt (as needed (mayo already has salt, so use very less))
  • 2 tablespoons onion (or scallions finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice ((mayo has lemon or vinegar, so use less) (optional))

Method

How to make Egg Mayo Sandwich

  1. Gently chop boiled eggs to small cubes and add them to a mixing bowl.
  2. Add mayonnaise, red chilli flakes, dried herbs, parsley, black pepper, mustard, garlic and onion.
  3. Mix well and taste it. If needed add salt and vinegar or lemon juice to your preference.
  4. Optionally butter the bread slices and toast them on a griddle or in a toaster. Or you can also toast them in a preheated oven at 350 F or 180 C for 3 to 4 minutes. Adjust the grill time as desired. Over toasting will make it hard.
  5. Cool them slightly, then spread the prepared egg salad on a bread slice. Cover with another slice. Cut the sandwich with a serrated knife.
  6. Serve egg mayo sandwich within 2 hours of preparing or chill in refrigerator.
