Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce and tomato slices (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large eggs, 2 slices of whole grain bread, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of mustard, salt, pepper, and optional lettuce and tomato slices.
- Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. While the water is heating, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
- Once the water is boiling, gently add the 4 large eggs using a spoon to prevent them from cracking. Reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs cook for about 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the 2 slices of whole grain bread until they are golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or a skillet for this step.
- After the eggs have cooked for the desired time, carefully remove them from the boiling water using a slotted spoon and immediately transfer them to the ice bath. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shells, then peel the eggs under running water to make peeling easier.
- After peeling, slice the hard-boiled eggs into rounds or quarters, depending on your preference.
- In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of mustard. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the mayonnaise and mustard mixture evenly on one side of each slice of toasted whole grain bread.
- Layer the sliced hard-boiled eggs on one slice of bread. If desired, add lettuce and tomato slices on top of the eggs for added flavor and crunch.
- Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwich.
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your WW Sliced Egg Sandwich!
Tips
- Perfectly Boiled Eggs: For the best texture, aim for a cooking time of 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Adjust the time slightly if you prefer them a bit softer or firmer.
- Toast to Perfection: Toast your bread until it’s golden brown and crispy for the best contrast with the creamy filling. A skillet can add a nice touch of flavor if you prefer!
- Easy Peeling: To make peeling the eggs easier, crack them gently on a hard surface and peel them under running water. This helps remove the shells without damaging the eggs.
- Customize Your Sandwich: Feel free to get creative! Add slices of avocado, cucumber, or even a sprinkle of paprika for an extra kick. The possibilities are endless!
- Meal Prep: If you're short on time during the week, consider making a batch of hard-boiled eggs in advance. They can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, making it easy to whip up this sandwich anytime.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your WW Sliced Egg Sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
