Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the tomato thoroughly and slice it into 0.5cm thick rounds. This will make the sandwich look appealing and easier to eat.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the slices in cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain them well. This will retain their crispness while reducing the sharpness.
Step 3
Fill a pot with plenty of water, add 1 Tbsp of salt, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling rapidly, carefully add the eggs and boil them for exactly 12 minutes. After boiling, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool them down completely, then peel the shells. This method helps the eggs peel easily and prevents them from cracking.
Step 4
Once peeled, separate the egg yolks from the whites. For a smoother texture, push the yolks through a sieve into a bowl. Finely chop the egg whites with a knife. Avoid making them too mushy; slightly chunkier pieces will provide a more satisfying bite.
Step 5
In the bowl with the sieved yolks, add the chopped egg whites, finely minced pickles, and the ingredients for the egg filling sauce: 3 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp mustard, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper. Gently mix everything together with a fork or spoon until well combined and creamy. Your sandwich filling is now ready!
Step 6
You can lightly toast the rye bread slices if you prefer. Spread the bread spread ingredients – 1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise and 1/2 Tbsp mustard – thinly on one side of each slice of bread. This adds moisture and enhances the overall flavor of the sandwich.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to assemble your sandwich! Layer the ingredients attractively on the bread. Start with a bed of fresh lettuce, followed by a generous amount of the creamy egg mixture. Then, add the sliced tomatoes, crisp onions, and a slice of cheese. Finally, top it off with the other slice of bread. Your delicious and healthy homemade egg sandwich is complete!
