The Benefits of Boiled Eggs
Eggs are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are also low-calorie foods, making them a good choice for people who are trying to lose or maintain a healthy weight.
The protein in eggs helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied, which can make you eat less throughout the day. Eggs are also a good source of vitamins D, B12, and choline, which are important for good health.
How to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
Boiling eggs does not have to be difficult. Admittedly, there are times when that simple task can become challenging. Boiling time depends on what you like to achieve. Boiling eggs takes between 4-12 minutes depending on your desired result – from soft to hard. For hard-boiled egg sandwiches, the cooking process would take about 12 minutes.
To achieve perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot of water making sure that they are fully covered by water. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook for 12 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt halfway through to help in peeling the eggs smoothly – yes, that’s the trick. Actually, there are more tips that we are sharing in this post. Go to “Cooking Tips” for more. To continue, scoop the eggs from the hot water and put them in cold water while you get the rest of the ingredients ready.
3 Major Ingredients for Hard-Boiled Egg Sandwich
Boiled eggs and buns are the major ingredients for the simplest boiled egg sandwich. You have your share of protein for the day. Slice the eggs up and insert them in a bun or two slices of white bread and you have a sandwich that’s satiating, filling, and a savior for an expected hectic workday. Add slices of one tomato and you are good to go. Season with salt and black pepper, if you wish; top it with ketchup or any creamy filling, or add a piece of lettuce and you have the wonders from the simplest protein-rich sandwich you have created in mere minutes.
Take Your Boiled Egg Sandwich to Another Level
Take that simple sandwich to another level by adding toppings or dressing. Here are a few:
- ketchup and yellow mustard
- regular mayonnaise
- Japanese mayonnaise is a richer option. Yummy!
- Green onions along with sliced tomatoes
- Small cubes of avocado
- Sweet pickle relish
- Caramelized onions. Heavenly!
- Pieces of lettuce
Serving Options for Hard-boiled Egg Sandwich
- Sprinkle egg with hot sauce. Nicer before grilling.
- Spread the bottom part of the buns with mayonnaise before lining them with tomatoes and eggs.
- Add sliced onions after the tomatoes.
- Add a pinch of salt on freshly ground black pepper on lined boiled eggs.
- Add slices of pickled cucumbers for a little sour touch to the filling.
- Serve with celery sticks on the side.
Additional Cooking Tips
- To make sure your eggs are cooked evenly, choose eggs that are all the same size.
- Add a teaspoon of vinegar to the water. This will help to prevent the eggs from cracking.
- After taking the boiled eggs from the pot, place them in a bowl of iced water and leave for a few minutes. This will help in peeling them smoothly. Another trick or option (if you want to save time) is to peel the eggs under running water. The running water will help to loosen the shells.
- Another way of achieving hard-boiled eggs is to place them in a pot, cover them with water, bring them to a boil, cover the pot with the lid, turn off the heat, and wait for 12 minutes. By then, the eggs are boiled perfectly.
- If you are not eating the eggs right away, store them in the refrigerator in a bowl of cold water. This will help to keep them fresh and prevent the yolks from turning green.
