Cost: $2.19 total, $0.73 per serving
Ingredients
- 6 Eggs (large, hard‑boiled, peeled, yolks and whites separated)
- 4 cups Water (enough to fully cover the eggs while boiling)
- 1 tablespoon White Vinegar (helps the shells peel easily)
- 2.5 tablespoons Mayonnaise (room temperature, smooth)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (fine sea salt)
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar (adds a subtle sweetness)
- to taste Black Pepper (freshly ground)
- 6 slices White Sandwich Bread (soft, preferably without crusts)
Instructions
Boil the Eggs
Place the 6 eggs in a medium saucepan, add enough water to cover them by 1‑2 inches, and stir in 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.
Time: PT5M
Cook the Eggs
Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for exactly 12 minutes.
Time: PT12M
Temperature: Medium
Ice‑Bath Cool
Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice‑cold water and let them sit for 5 minutes.
Time: PT5M
Peel and Separate
Gently tap each egg to crack the shell, peel it, then separate the yolks from the whites. Set yolks and whites in separate bowls.
Time: PT3M
Strain the Yolks
Pass the yolks through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl, using the back of a spoon to push any stuck yolk through.
Time: PT2M
Strain the Whites
Similarly, strain the egg whites through a fine mesh sieve into another bowl. If the whites are still a bit chunky, mash them lightly with a fork to achieve a smooth consistency.
Time: PT2M
Combine Egg Mixture with Mayo
In a mixing bowl, combine the strained yolks, strained whites, 2‑3 tablespoons mayonnaise, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
Time: PT4M
Prepare the Bread
Lay out 6 slices of soft white bread. Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice – this prevents the bread from getting soggy and adds extra richness.
Time: PT2M
Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread the egg‑mayo mixture evenly over the mayo‑coated side of three bread slices. Top each with another slice, mayo side down, to form three sandwiches.
Time: PT2M
Trim and Cut
Trim the crusts if desired, then cut each sandwich into triangles or squares for easy handling.
Time: PT2M
Serve
Arrange the sandwich pieces on a plate and enjoy while still slightly warm for the ultimate soft‑and‑fluffy experience.
Time: PT0M
