🧀 Ingredients You’ll Need

Simple, fresh 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

Start by placing your eggs in a pot of water and bringing it to a gentle boil. Whether you prefer a soft, creamy yolk or a fully set centre, you can adjust the cooking time to suit your taste:

• Soft-boiled: 6 minutes  
• Medium: 8 minutes  
• Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes  

For the best texture in this sandwich, a medium-boiled egg (7–8 minutes) works perfectly.

Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling much easier — no more sticking shells!

While the eggs are cooling, you can prepare the rest of your ingredients so everything is ready for assembly.

Prepare the Bread & Eggs

While the eggs are cooling, take your bread slices and spread them generously with butter no need to toast. The buttery layer adds richness and pairs perfectly with the soft eggs and creamy mayonnaise.

Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them carefully and slice them gently. it’s time to start building. Take one slice of your buttered bread and gently place the sliced eggs on top.

Now you’ve got all your main components prepared simple, fresh, and ready for layering.

Add the Fillings

Next, add your halved cherry tomatoes for a fresh, juicy bite, then sprinkle with finely chopped spring onions for a light crunch and subtle flavour.

Finish by squeezing a generous layer of mayonnaise over the toppings, adding a smooth, creamy touch that ties everything together.

Each layer adds something special, creating a delicious and well-balanced breakfast sandwich.

Assemble & Serve

Once your fillings are layered, your sandwich is ready to enjoy. The soft bread, creamy eggs, juicy cherry tomatoes, and fresh spring onions come together in a simple yet satisfying bite.

Serve immediately while fresh, with a warm cup of tea, coffee, or a refreshing smoothie for a simple and comforting start to your day.
