Egg Mayonnaise Sandwich
Egg Mayonnaise Sandwich for Breakfast or Picnic
This is a really short and simple recipe. If you are making them for breakfast, you can prepare the hard boiled eggs the night before so that you cut down on the preparation time in the morning. I used to takeaway egg mayo sandwiches at a cafe near my place so I recreated this familiar taste at home based on my memory. I think it’s such a nice treat to have this on the breakfast table :)

Ingredients
(Serves 3)
- 3 hard boiled eggs*, egg whites chopped finely (I included 1 of the egg yolk and discarded the rest – it’s up to you)
- 1 tomato, sliced thinly
- a few romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (I used Japanese mayo but you can use other types as well)
- 1 tsp mustard
- sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- soft white bread
- butter or margarine spread* Directions for making hard boiled eggs
To cook perfect hard boiled eggs, place eggs in saucepan of cold water (enough water to cover eggs). Bring to a boil for about 2 minutes, off the flame and cover with lid for about 10 minutes. Rinse the eggs with cold water till they are cooled. Crack the eggs gently with a spoon and remove shell. Cut in half.Directions for making egg mayonnaise sandwich
1. In a bowl, mix evenly chopped egg, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper.
2. Spread some butter margarine on a slice of bread.
3. Spread egg mayonnaise mixture you made in step 1, tomato slices and lettuce leaves. Top with another slice of bread. Cut into half diagonally if desired before serving.
Cooking Notes:
1. If you are taking the sandwiches to a picnic or storing leftover sandwiches in the fridge, wrap each sandwich with cling wrap all round to preserve freshness.
2. For healthier choice, I only included the egg yolk of 1 egg but if you do not mind the cholesterol content found in egg yolks, you can include all the egg yolks. Egg yolks are yummy ;)

My hub loves egg mayo sandwich exactly like this but it’s been a long time since I made it for him.
one of the neat looking egg sandwiches i have ever seen.. I like the idea of reducing the egg yolk. sure will try this.
Hope you like it when you try it out :)
Where do you get the little toothpicks?
I bought it at Daiso (2-dollar thrift store).
noobcook, these are so pretty! :) lovin the little sandwich toothpick.
Looks Yummy the egg sandwich.
Oh my goodness those little flags are so cute! :XO: My mom makes a similar recipe, (called egg salad sandwich…..essentially the same thing) and also has a mixture of chopped hard-boiled egg, mixed with mayonaise, mustard, and chopped green olives.
Your sandwiches look so fresh! :up:
I like the addition of mustard and green olives in your mum’s version. I will try it out! I know I will like it :) :up:
I’m happy enough to have such sandwich as my breakfast.:P
I love eggsalad sandwich!
So pretty sandwiches! simple and definitively delicious too :)
Cheers,
Gera
Looks so nice for breakfast.
This is my all time favorite, yummy!!!! When I was in UK, I would go to the sandwich bar and order egg mayo with crispy bacon with wheat bread ; ) At home I only make egg mayo alone, your tomato and lettuce make the sandwich more healthy : )
why does a simple egg sandwich looks so so good in your blog…? really… now you make me wanna make a sandwich for dinner ^__^
yum! Cute little flags, too!
I love these! So yummy!
Isn’t amazing that a simple thing, such a egg sandwich can taste so good? I love it! And you are right it is great for breakfast :-) Lovely pictures!
Simply perfect! It looks great with the soft white bread!
Breakfast? I can have it for lunch, dinner and supper too! Not all in the same day but every other day? :p
P.S. Glad you like the chicken soup :)
same here, I don’t mind having this anytime for a meal ^^
Looks awesome. One of my favorite sandwiches, although I’ve never heard it called egg mayo before. I always put in all the yolk myself, love the richness. :)
Oh yeah, the yolk definitely add a lot of richness and taste to the sandwich.
you definitely nailed it! you made a simple and healthy sandwich look so deliciously tempting!
This brings back memories! My mum used to pack this for my lunch!
I remember eating this for the first time as a kid! Still eating them even now. If you don’t want to use any salt or mayo, use cream cheese (those flavoured with bacon or ham or just plain). That’s what I normally do for my kids :) Food on the go!
sounds like a good idea I can try out next time! Thanks! :-)
I just came across your blog and absolutely love it! In fact, I’ve bookmarked a few of your recipes :-)
Thanks for visiting me! I’m loving your blog too :)
I’ve never thought about eating an egg salad sandwich for breakfast, but it totally makes sense. I need to go boil some eggs now.
simply and yet healthy sandwich!
Now this, I’m very familiar with, so I have no trouble imagining how wonderful it tastes. It’s also DH’s favorite sandwich.
The thing is, I’ve only made these for lunch, so thanks dear NC for the nod to a delicious breakfast .
Try adding canned tuna (the ones with water, not oil) next time for a more filling sandwich :-)
Thanks for the suggestion. They have water based canned tuna? Gonna look for them. Do I still add the mayo and the other ingredients?
Everything else is the same, except you add tuna :-)
Don’t forget to drain the tuna. You can use oil based tuna, it’s just unhealthy.
ps: I’ve only tried making the tuna egg salad sandwich with normal mayo, as I think Kewpie might be too sweet.
I’ll try your version when I have tuna. It’s fun to try different variations. Thanks for sharing. :-)
i like food if its taste good its good food if its bad i dont like it
nice article
it looks so appetizing!
i’m surely gonna make this one soon, its so damn simple and i believe tasty too….
ummm bonne appetite
Hi, may I know what is freshly cracked black pepper? Where can I buy it? Can I use those bottled ground black pepper? Thks.
Hi Mei Ling, freshly cracked means the pepper go through a hand held pepper grinder. You may have seen it on TV shows where the cook twist the grinder for the pepper. The reason is that freshly cracked pepper is more aromatic because once you grind, the aroma will fade over time. But if you don’t have a pepper grinder, you can use bottled ground pepper :)
Hi, thanks for your reply :)

Hi Wiffy =)
Have been following your blog and am so blessed by it =) I would love to try and make this sandwich. May I know how many days I can keep the left over sandwich in the fridge? It is actually for practical reason =P So I can just grab the sandwiches for the next few days =) Btw, I plan to add ham in the sandwich.
Thanks! =)
Hi Sofia, thanks for your kind words. maybe two days? For best results, prepare the egg salad filling first, but assemble the sandwich only when needed. Hope this helps.
hey, why is the mustard used. n if i omit it will it taste bad.thnks
hi, the mustard makes the taste better but it won’t taste bad if you omit it.
with finely chopped onion they are even better
Looks good
Incidentally, there is nothing wrong with egg yolk. In fact there is little nutritional value in egg white. Egg yolk has a lot of protein and the cholesterol content is the good cholesterol as opposed to the bad cholesterol
It is great i love it thank you
Hello! ;) I love egg mayo! Can I ask what Japanese mayo are you using ? Can I have a picture of it please ? The eggs that you are using for this, are they the more expensive ones ? Thanks so much.
