🛒 Ingredient Tips
The key ingredient for this egg sandwich is, of course, the eggs.
Fresh eggs typically have rough, clean shells, and their contents should not slosh when shaken.
Using refrigerated eggs reduces the risk of cracking when boiling.
For the mayonnaise, both regular and truffle mayonnaise are used; the truffle mayonnaise adds a luxurious flavor, so be sure to include it if possible.
Using moist and soft milk bread works wonderfully with the egg filling, enhancing the overall deliciousness.
🔄 Substitution Guide
If you don't have truffle mayonnaise, using only regular mayonnaise is perfectly fine.
While it won't have the unique truffle aroma, the inherent richness of the eggs will still make it delicious.
Instead of yellow mustard, you can use whole-grain mustard or Dijon mustard.
Each type of mustard offers a different aroma and taste, so choose according to your preference.
Adding a little heavy cream instead of milk can create a richer and creamier flavor, but keep in mind that it will increase the calorie count.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
The most crucial cooking points for this recipe are how to boil the eggs and how to make the yolk paste.
First, place the eggs in water before it boils and cook for 8-9 minutes to achieve a perfectly soft-boiled state.
This ensures the yolks are moist and can be made into a smooth paste.
Second, when mashing the yolks, it's important to add salt, sugar, black pepper, and milk, mashing and mixing until it reaches a smooth, not-too-thick custard-like consistency.
Adjust the amount of milk gradually to achieve your desired texture.
Finally, roughly chop the egg whites to preserve their texture, as this is a key charm of this sandwich; be careful not to chop them too finely.
👨🍳 Directions
Place 7 eggs into water before it boils and cook for 8-9 minutes to achieve a perfectly soft-boiled consistency.
Separate the yolks and whites of the cooked eggs, placing only the yolks in a bowl.
To the bowl with the yolks, add a pinch of salt, 0.5 tbsp sugar, black pepper to taste, and milk as needed. Mash and mix until it reaches a smooth, not-too-thick custard-like consistency.
Add a little mayonnaise and truffle mayonnaise as desired to the yolk mixture, and mix well.
Roughly chop the separated egg whites to preserve their texture.
Add the chopped egg whites to the yolk mixture and mix well to complete the egg filling.
Lay plastic wrap on a cutting board for assembling the sandwich, then place 2 slices of bread on top.
Spread yellow mustard evenly on one slice of bread.
Generously spoon the egg filling onto the bread slice with mustard.
Cover the filling with the remaining slice of bread, then tightly wrap the entire sandwich with plastic wrap to prevent the filling from spilling out.
💡 Tips
When boiling eggs, add them before the water boils to prevent cracking.
Separating the yolks and whites, then seasoning and mashing the yolks into a paste first, helps enhance both flavor and texture.
It's recommended to season the yolk mixture a bit stronger, considering it will be mixed with the whites. The bread and mayonnaise will help balance the seasoning.
This sandwich is even more delicious than convenience store egg sandwiches, so be sure to try making it!
📦 Storage & Reuse
Store the finished egg sandwich tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator, and consume it within 1 day for the freshest and best taste.
Since the filling contains eggs, it's difficult to store for an extended period.
Any leftover egg filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoyed the next day as an open-faced sandwich on toast or crackers.
To reheat, microwave for 10-20 seconds, just enough to remove the chill, which helps maintain its moist texture.
🥢 Who This Is For
This sandwich is great as a snack for children and an excellent alternative for a busy breakfast.
Especially when you want to enjoy a leisurely brunch on the weekend, it makes a perfect meal when served with warm coffee or orange juice.
It's also ideal for a picnic or a simple packed lunch.
You can create an even richer dining experience by serving it with a fresh fruit salad or a light soup.
