Sandwiches are such a wonderful thing to do when you feel hungry and need something instantly. Just a fried egg placed in between buttered toasted bread, taste phenomenal, plus it makes a great sandwich too. I make quite a lot of sandwiches, hubby loves it so much. So i play around a lot with it.
I always have bread and eggs on hand. because you never know when people in my house get hungry. If they do i can quickly whip up a sandwich at any time of the day. This is one sandwich which i made recently, the filling is based on mayo and eggs. It tasted so amazing, that i have to share it here.
The cool thing about this sandwich is you can make the egg salad the day before or couple hours before and keep it ready in fridge. So you can make this sandwich in a pro. This makes a great lunch box recipe too. So try this out and let me know how it turned for you.
