Possible Substitutes List & Recipe Variations

You can switch up this egg sandwich recipe in many ways. Try these tasty swaps:

Eggs: Use 1/4 cup mashed avocado or 1/4 cup silken tofu per egg.

Mayo: Greek yogurt or mashed avocado work great.

Mustard: Swap for hot sauce or pesto for a flavor kick.

Chives: Green onions, dill, or parsley are yummy options.

You can also add extras to your sandwich:

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Use room temperature eggs to prevent cracking when boiling. This helps create a smooth, creamy filling.

Mash the eggs thoroughly for the best texture. A potato masher works great for breaking down the whites into small pieces.

Be careful with salt – eggs need less than you might think. Add just a pinch at first and taste before adding more.

For neat sandwiches, chill the filling in the fridge for 30 minutes before assembling. This firms it up, making it easier to spread evenly.

You can store assembled egg sandwiches in the fridge for up to 2 days. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container.

When ready to eat, let chilled sandwiches sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This brings out the best flavor and texture.

Try adding extras like crispy bacon, sliced avocado, or fresh herbs to customize your sandwich. Experiment with different breads too!

For picnics or packed lunches, keep sandwiches cool in an insulated bag with ice packs. Enjoy within 4 hours for food safety.
