Key Ingredients- 5-6 Morning Buns
- 4 Eggs
- 1/4 Red Bell Pepper
- 1/4 Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1/4 Onion
- 1/4 Cucumber
- 3-4 Lettuce Leaves
- A small amount of Carrot
Seasoning & Dressing- 1/3 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise (for creamy richness)
- A pinch of Black Pepper (for aroma)
- 1/3 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise (for creamy richness)
- A pinch of Black Pepper (for aroma)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place the 4 eggs in a pot and cover them with plenty of water. Add 1/3 tsp of salt to the water; this helps prevent the eggs from cracking and makes them easier to peel later. Boil the eggs for about 15 minutes until they are hard-boiled. Once cooked, immerse them in cold water for a few minutes to cool down, which significantly aids in peeling.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash the carrot and peel it. Using a julienne peeler or a knife, slice the carrot as thinly as possible, then finely mince it into pieces about 0.3 cm thick. The key to this recipe is utilizing any leftover vegetables you have on hand! Finely dicing a variety of vegetables will add both texture and nutritional value.
Step 3
Wash the cucumber, then remove the seeds. Finely chop both the skin and the flesh together. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the chopped cucumber and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes to draw out moisture. This step prevents the sandwich filling from becoming too watery. After salting, squeeze out the excess water firmly by hand.
Step 4
Next, finely mince the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and onion. Ensure you remove any seeds or core parts before chopping. Similar to the cucumber, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from these chopped vegetables. This is crucial for maintaining a good consistency and flavor concentration in your sandwich filling.
Step 5
Take the hard-boiled eggs and peel them. First, carefully chop the egg whites very finely with a knife. Aim for small, consistent pieces to achieve a smooth texture in the filling. Avoid large chunks for a better mouthfeel.
Step 6
Add the separated and chopped egg whites to a mixing bowl. Then, add the hard-boiled egg yolks you set aside. Mash the yolks gently with the back of a spoon or a fork. Incorporating the yolks will add creaminess and a rich, savory flavor to the sandwich filling.
Step 7
Now it’s time to combine everything. Add the finely chopped egg whites, mashed egg yolks, and all the well-drained chopped vegetables (carrot, cucumber, bell peppers, onion) to the bowl. Mix in 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, a pinch of black pepper, and 1/3 teaspoon of salt. Stir everything together thoroughly. It’s best to start with less salt and add more as needed, tasting as you go to achieve your preferred seasoning.
Step 8
Gently mix all the ingredients until they are well combined with the mayonnaise. Your delicious egg sandwich filling is now ready! The vibrant colors of the vegetables make it visually appealing and appetizing.
Step 9
Carefully slice each morning bun horizontally using a knife, creating a pocket for the filling. Be gentle to avoid squishing the buns. Place a fresh lettuce leaf inside each bun to add a crisp texture and a touch of freshness. Generously spoon the prepared egg sandwich filling into each bun.
Step 10
Congratulations! Your beautiful and delicious Morning Bun Egg Sandwiches are complete. Enjoy this delightful meal or brunch made with simple ingredients. It’s a guaranteed hit with everyone!
