Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 bread slices
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lettuce leaf
- 1 tomato slice
- 1 cheddar cheese slice
Instructions
Begin by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a small pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 7 minutes.
While the eggs are boiling, spread the butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the buttered bread slices butter side down in the skillet, and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Once the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of cold water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the salt and black pepper.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a layer of the seasoned mayonnaise on the untoasted side of one bread slice.
Place the lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise, followed by the sliced eggs, then the tomato slice, and finally the cheddar cheese slice.
Top with the other slice of bread, toasted side up.
Press down gently to secure, then cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
