I know this is a pretty common thing to have but surprisingly not that many people actually know how to make egg and lettuce sandwiches. So because I've been eating these like egg's going out of fashion I thought I'd show everyone how to make them, because to be honest they're simple to make but pretty damn good.
Now this will be a recipe for one full sandwich. I use one egg per sandwich, so if you want more sandwiches, use more eggs. I just make it for myself so one is spot on.
Firstly, boil water in a small pot and once boiled, use a spoon to lower the egg into the pot to avoid cracking it. Cook it for 10 minutes. Tip the hot water out of the pot and fill it with cold water. Then after 2 minutes tip that water out and fill it again with cold water. continue this every couple of minutes until the egg is cold. (This will stop boiled eggs from turning grey).While the eggs are cooking you can finely shred some lettuce, I like mine super fine - around 2 mm thick. But it all depends on what you want. When the egg is cooled peel the shell off. Put the egg into a small bowl and using a fork mash the egg as fine as you possibly can, you don't want lumps of egg, it's meant to be smooth. Then for one egg add about 1 tablespoon of creamy mayonnaise, any kind will do, what ever you prefer. mix it together thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to your liking and the egg
is ready for the sandwich.
Now for the assembly, use your favourite bread, I use wholemeal for mine, it's the best. Spread margarine or butter on your bread and then spread the egg over one piece of bread. Then sprinkle the lettuce over the top, however much you use is up to you. Then of course pop the other piece of bread on top. And there you have it, a damn good sandwich. Don't forget to cut it into triangles, the best way to eat any sandwich.
