Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices white bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 leaves lettuce
Instructions
1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
2. Once the water reaches a boil, let the eggs cook for 10 minutes.
3. After 10 minutes, remove the eggs from boiling water and transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes, which will make peeling easier.
4. Once cooled, peel the eggs and place them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the eggs until they reach a coarse texture.
5. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the mashed eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
6. Lightly butter each slice of bread on one side to add a layer of richness to the sandwich.
7. Divide the egg mayonnaise mixture evenly onto four slices of buttered bread, spreading it out evenly.
8. Top the egg mayonnaise with a crisp leaf of lettuce on each slice.
9. Place the remaining slices of buttered bread on top of each sandwich, butter-side down, pressing lightly to secure the fillings.
10. Cut the sandwiches diagonally to create two triangles, if desired. Serve immediately or pack in a lunchbox for later.
