Quick & Easy Microwave Egg Mayo Sandwich (3-Minute Recipe)
Convenient Picnic & Brunch Idea: Super Simple Microwave Egg Salad Sandwich by Chef Nam Yoon-soo
A wonderfully simple egg mayo sandwich made by gently cooking the eggs in the microwave like a steamed egg custard, skipping the boiling process. It’s incredibly quick and results in a soft, creamy texture perfect for any meal.
Ingredients- 2 slices of bread
- 3 fresh eggs
- 2 swirls of mayonnaise (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp honey mustard (or 1 tsp whole grain mustard)
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of dried parsley (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To make your sandwich neat and easy to handle, carefully trim off the crusts from both slices of bread using a knife. Using just the soft interior of the bread will make for a more enjoyable sandwich.
Step 2
Crack 3 eggs into a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk them gently with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined. Cover the bowl loosely with a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap, poking a few small holes for steam to escape. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and resemble a soft custard. (Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.) This method cooks the eggs perfectly without boiling.
Step 3
Carefully remove the cooked eggs from the microwave. Using a fork or a masher, gently break down the cooked eggs into a smooth consistency. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 swirls of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of honey mustard (or 1 teaspoon of whole grain mustard for a tangier flavor), and a pinch of black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Taste and adjust the sugar or mayonnaise if needed.
Step 4
Lightly spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each slice of bread. This adds moisture and helps the egg mixture adhere better. Generously spoon the prepared egg mayo mixture onto one slice of the bread, then top with the other slice to form the sandwich.
Step 5
Slice the finished sandwich in half, typically diagonally to create two neat triangles. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley over the top for a touch of color and fresh flavor. Your delicious egg mayo sandwich is ready to enjoy! It’s wonderful served immediately or chilled.
