Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by boiling the eggs, which take the longest. Place the eggs in a pot and add enough water to cover them completely.
Step 2
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Adding salt helps prevent the eggshells from cracking and stops the contents from escaping if they do crack during boiling.
Step 3
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 13 minutes to achieve hard-boiled eggs. You can adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
Step 4
After boiling, immediately transfer the eggs to cold water for about 1 minute. This helps cool them down quickly, making them easier to peel, and improves their texture.
Step 5
Carefully peel the cooled eggs. If the shells are difficult to remove, try gently tapping the egg on the bottom of the pot to create small cracks before peeling.
Step 6
Once peeled, separate the egg whites from the yolks. The yolks will be mashed for the salad, and the whites will be finely chopped.
Step 7
For the yolks, use a fork or a masher to mash them until completely smooth and free of lumps. A creamy mashed yolk will result in a smoother salad.
Step 8
Instead of mashing, finely chop the egg whites. This is a key technique for this sandwich, as it adds a pleasant, slightly chewy texture. Aim for a chop that’s not too fine, allowing for some bite.
Step 9
Combine the chopped egg whites and mashed egg yolks in a bowl.
Step 10
Now, let’s make the delicious egg mayo salad! Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to the chopped whites and mashed yolks. The type of mustard used—whether honey mustard or yellow mustard—doesn’t matter.
Step 11
Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking.
Step 12
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Step 13
Add a pinch of salt to season the salad. Be careful not to add too much.
Step 14
Finally, add a pinch of black pepper to enhance the flavors and add aroma. If preparing for children, you can omit the pepper or use a very small amount for a milder taste.
Step 15
For an extra kick and to ensure no eggy flavor remains, consider adding about 1/2 teaspoon of wasabi. Its subtle heat cuts through the richness beautifully. If you don’t have wasabi, mustard can be a good substitute.
Step 16
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until well combined and the dressing evenly coats everything. Ensure there are no lumps. Let the egg mayo salad rest for a moment to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 17
Time to assemble the sandwich! Using a serrated knife or a regular knife, carefully slice the morning bun horizontally, cutting only about two-thirds of the way through. The bun should remain connected at one side.
Step 18
On the inside of one of the sliced bun halves, spread a thin layer of strawberry jam. The sweetness of the jam creates a wonderful contrast with the egg mayo salad.
Step 19
Generously spoon the prepared egg mayo salad onto the side with the strawberry jam. Ensure you don’t overfill, so the filling stays neatly inside.
Step 20
Place the top half of the bun back on to complete the sandwich. Some of the egg mayo filling might peek out from the sides.
Step 21
Gently tuck any overflowing egg mayo salad back inside the bun using a spoon or a spatula. This creates a neat presentation and makes the sandwich easier to eat.
Step 22
Voilà! Your delicious Egg Mayo Morning Sandwich is ready. The delightful combination of sweetness and creaminess is sure to start your day off with a smile.
