Super Easy Egg and Cucumber Sandwich Recipe! Perfect for Kids’ Snacks!
Whip up a quick and delicious Egg and Cucumber Sandwich for a perfect kid’s snack or a late-night bite! This sandwich is incredibly easy to make and satisfying.
Ingredients- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cucumber
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 slices of bread (or as needed)
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 0.5 – 1 Tbsp yellow mustard (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Boil the eggs in water for about 10 minutes until fully cooked (hard-boiled). (Tip: Soaking the boiled eggs in cold water for a moment makes them easier to peel.)
Step 2
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water.
Step 3
Trim off about 1/3 of the cucumber. Cut it in half lengthwise, then slice thinly. (Tip: Thinly slicing the cucumber prevents the sandwich filling from becoming mushy and ensures an even spread.)
Step 4
Lightly sprinkle the thinly sliced cucumber with a pinch of salt and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This helps to draw out excess moisture, preventing a soggy sandwich.
Step 5
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Finely chop the egg whites using a fork or a knife.
Step 6
Place the egg yolks in a bowl and mash them with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Add the chopped egg whites to the bowl with the mashed yolks and mix well. Squeeze out any excess water from the salted cucumber slices and add them to the egg mixture. Gently combine.
Step 8
Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 0.5 to 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard to the bowl with the egg and cucumber mixture. Adjust the amount of mustard based on your preference for a bit of spice.
Step 9
Stir everything together until well combined. Season with a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor and mix once more to complete the sandwich filling.
Step 10
You can use the bread as is, or lightly toast it in a toaster for added crunch and flavor.
Step 11
Spread a generous amount of the prepared egg and cucumber filling onto one slice of bread.
Step 12
Top with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich. For easier handling and a nice presentation, cut the sandwich in half diagonally. Enjoy your delicious creation!
