Ingredients
  • Eggs - 4
  • Salt - ¾ tsp or to taste
  • Black Pepper - ½ tsp
  • Paprika / Red chilli powder - ¼ tsp
  • Onion - 1, medium, finely chopped
  • European cucumber - 1, medium, finely chopped
Instructions
  1. Soft boil the eggs in a saucepan full of salted water. Soft boiling is important as hard boiled eggs become dry.
  2. While the eggs are boiling, finely chop the onion and cucumber. If you are using European cucumber, do not peel the skin. Set them aside.
  3. Peel the shells of the boiled eggs and take them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Using a fork, start breaking the boiled eggs into smaller pieces. You don’t have to completely mash the eggs; just break them down into tiny pieces.
  5. Now add the chopped onion and chopped cucumber to the mixing bowl with eggs. Using a spatula, mix the eggs, onion and cucumber to make an even mixture.
  6. Next add the salt, pepper and paprika or red chilli powder to the egg mixture and again give a good mix using the spatula to end up with a nicely mixed homogeneous no mayo egg salad sandwich filling.
  7. It’s time to assemble the sandwiches. Toast 2 or 4 slices of wholewheat bread either in an electric pop-up toaster or in a frying pan (try not to use any oil or butter though!).
  8. Lay half of the toasted bread slices on a cutting board i.e. if you are making 2 sandwiches, you would toast 4 slices and you will load 2 slices with egg mixture reserving the other 2 for covering.
  9. Now load up each slice with about half a cup of egg mixture filling. You can take a call on how much filling you like in your sandwich; half cup is just a ballpark number.
  10. Sprinkle any fresh greens of your choice e.g. finely chopped fresh basil or cilantro.
  11. Cover each egg-filled toast with another toasted slice and press both to stick them together.
  12. Your no mayo egg salad sandwich is ready to serve! You can cut them diagonally to make restaurant style sandwich triangles and enjoy!
Notes
Pro tip: Soft boiling will ensure that your eggs are soft (yolk may even be a little runny) so that you get a creamy texture of your no mayo egg sandwich filling.
