Tips to make Best Egg Sandwich

• Toast the bread before making the sandwich. This is an important tip. It will make sure your sandwich stays good and will no longer be soggy. Also, it adds a little crunch to the sandwich.
• If you are serving the sandwich immediately, no need to toast it. You can serve it as a cold sandwich.
• There are a few recipes that suggest toasting the bread after adding the egg-mayo filling. It becomes a little difficult to toast the bread after stuffing it. The heat makes the mayonnaise runny and can spoil the sandwich.
• Be careful while adding salt to the recipe. Mayonnaise has salt in it.
• For meal prep - Boil the eggs in advance.

Serving Suggestions

• You can serve it on bread (white bread, brown bread, or multi-grain bread) or bun.
• You can serve it as an open-faced sandwich. Take a bread slice, layer lettuce leaves over it. Pour the egg mayo filling. Spread it evenly and serve.
• This creamy egg mayo filling goes great with garlic bread.

Storage Suggestions

• This egg sandwich should be prepared and consumed quickly.
• Do not keep this egg mayo sandwich filling at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
• Do not store the prepared sandwich in the refrigerator. The mayo becomes runny after some time.

Variations that you can try
