Main Ingredients- 4 slices of bread
- 1 cucumber
- 1 egg
- 1/3 carrot (small)
- 100g spread or mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the cucumber and carrot thoroughly. Slice them in half lengthwise, then thinly on an angle (about 0.3cm thick). Sprinkle with a little salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and let them sit for 10 minutes to lightly pickle. Hard-boil the egg: place it in a pot of water and cook until fully done (about 10-12 minutes after the water begins to boil).
Step 2
Gently squeeze out excess water from the salted cucumber and carrot slices. Peel the hard-boiled egg and mash it thoroughly with a fork or potato masher.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the mashed egg, squeezed cucumber, and carrot. Add 100g of spread or mayonnaise and mix gently until well combined. For an extra touch, you can add a pinch of black pepper.
Step 4
Take one slice of bread and spread the egg mixture evenly across its surface, all the way to the edges. This ensures every bite is moist and flavorful.
Step 5
On another slice of bread, spread a thin layer of the carrot mixture. The natural sweetness of the carrots will add a fresh taste to the sandwich.
Step 6
On a third slice of bread, arrange the drained cucumber slices evenly. The refreshing crunch of the cucumber adds a lovely texture and coolness.
Step 7
Carefully stack the bread slices: place the bread with the carrot mixture on top of the bread with the egg mixture, followed by the bread with the cucumber. Finally, top with the last slice of bread to complete the sandwich structure.
Step 8
Using a knife, neatly trim off the crusts from the assembled sandwich. Then, cut the sandwich into three equal portions for easy handling and a visually appealing presentation.
Step 9
Your delicious tri-color sandwich, bursting with color and flavor, is now complete! Enjoy this delightful creation on your next picnic or as a satisfying light meal.
