When you are hungry and want a quick snack, making something in the kitchen might seem like a big task. Naturally, reaching for that packet of sugary treats or prepackaged snacks is easy, which may not be the best thing for your health. So, if you consider eating better, making some easy sandwiches can be an excellent idea. Sandwiches, made of two slices of bread and a filling in between, are delicious.
You can make them with your favourite ingredients. You can also try various versions by altering a few ingredients. However, if you are clueless about what to make, the following are three simple recipes to try out:
Egg and mayo sandwiches
To make this delicious yet easy sandwich, start by boiling six eggs. If you want a creamier filling, cook the eggs until they reach the soft-boiled stage. Once done, peel and mash them well. Now add the following to the egg filling:
· One tablespoon of mayonnaise
· Two teaspoons of Dijon mustard
· Half a teaspoon of black pepper, freshly cracked
· Salt, to taste
· Two teaspoons of finely chopped chives or green onions
Once mixed thoroughly, butter the slices of bread. You can remove the edges if you want. Spread a generous helping of the filling on the slices from one edge to another. Cover the sandwich with another buttered slice and cut it in any way you like. Now, enjoy this tasty treat while waving goodbye to your hunger.
Egg ‘bhurji’ sandwiches
To make this scrambled egg sandwich, butter both sides of four slices of sandwich bread generously and toast them in a hot pan. Once done, remove them from the flame and heat some oil in the same pan. To the heated oil, add cumin seeds and some chopped ginger and green chillies. Beat four eggs in a bowl. Season the eggs with black pepper powder and salt. Pour the mixture into the pan and scramble it. Once done, add the egg ‘bhurji’ to the toasted bread.
Layer the egg mixture with various sliced vegetables of your choice. For example, you can add capsicums, onions, carrots, tomatoes, etc. Top it with homemade green coriander chutney if you want, and cover with another toasted slice.
Fried egg sandwiches
To make these sandwiches, fry two eggs in a pan. Keep the yolk runny if you want, or fry well on both sides. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. You could also top them with cheese slices to make the sandwich tastier. For the recipe, use some good quality bread. Today, you can easily buy the bread at a cake shop and use it when making this sandwich. Just toast the slices with a generous amount of butter.
Spread mayonnaise on the toasted slice. Then, layer with various vegetables of your choice. Next, add the fried egg and top it off with more veggies. Cover with another slice of toasted bread, and enjoy.
