Questions about Egg mayonnaise sandwich

How do you make egg mayo filling for sandwiches?

Boil the eggs for about 9 minutes, cool them in cold water, then peel and mash with mayonnaise, black pepper and a little mustard. Chopped chives or salad cress are classic additions.

How long does an egg mayonnaise sandwich keep in the fridge?

Make it no more than a day ahead, wrap it well and keep it in a fridge at 5°C or below. Take it out just before eating.

Can you freeze an egg mayonnaise sandwich?

It’s not worth freezing: the egg can turn rubbery and the mayonnaise may separate as it thaws. Make the filling fresh instead.

What bread is best for an egg mayo sandwich?

Soft sliced white or wholemeal bread is the usual choice; a crusty roll works too. Add the filling shortly before eating, or put a lettuce leaf between it and the bread to help stop the bread going soggy.

What goes well with an egg mayo sandwich?

In a British packed lunch, pair it with crisps, cherry tomatoes or cucumber sticks. Salad cress in the sandwich adds a peppery crunch.

What can you use instead of mayonnaise in egg mayo?

For a lighter, tangier filling, replace some of the mayonnaise with thick plain yoghurt. A spoonful of salad cream is another familiar British alternative, though it makes the filling sharper and sweeter.

How do you keep an egg mayo sandwich safe in a packed lunch?

Keep it in the fridge until you leave, then carry it in an insulated lunch bag with a frozen ice pack. Put it back in a fridge if you have one at lunchtime.

Which has more protein per 100 g: egg mayo or tuna mayo sandwich?

A tuna mayonnaise sandwich has more, with 12.5 g protein per 100 g compared with 8.8 g in an egg mayonnaise sandwich.
