🧀 Ingredients You’ll Need
Simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
- 🍞 2 slices of bread
- 🥚 2 boiled eggs (sliced)
- 🧈 1 tablespoon butter
- 🥄 1–2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 🍅 5–6 cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 🌿 1–2 tablespoons finely chopped spring onions
- 🧂 Salt (to taste)
How to Make the Sandwich
Place the eggs in a pot of water and bring it to a gentle boil. You can adjust the boiling time depending on how cooked you like your yolks:
• Soft-boiled: 6 minutes
• Medium: 8 minutes
• Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes
A medium-boiled egg (7–8 minutes) works best for this sandwich.
Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water. This stops them from overcooking and makes peeling easier.
While the eggs cool down, you can prepare the rest of your ingredients.
Prepare the Bread & Eggs
Spread the butter evenly onto your bread slices—no need to toast them. The butter goes well with the soft eggs and mayonnaise.
Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them carefully and cut them into slices. Place the sliced eggs on top of one slice of buttered bread.
Now you are ready to add the rest of the toppings.
Add the Fillings
Next, add the halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle over the chopped spring onions for extra fresh crunch.
Finish by adding a layer of mayonnaise over the top to help hold everything together.
These layers create a simple, well-balanced sandwich.
Assemble & Serve
Place the second slice of bread on top. The combination of soft bread, cooked eggs, tomatoes, and spring onions makes a great bite.
Serve right away while fresh, alongside tea, coffee, or a smoothie.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
Yes, you can boil the eggs ahead of time and keep them in the fridge. For the best texture, assemble the sandwich right before eating so the bread stays soft.
What type of bread works best?
Soft white bread is classic, but wholemeal, sourdough, or multigrain work well if you want a firmer option.
Can I add other ingredients?
Yes. You can add avocado, spinach, cheese, or chili flakes depending on what you like.
How do I store leftovers?
This sandwich is best eaten fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for a few hours. Wrap it tightly so the bread does not dry out.
