Have fun experimenting with flavors and textures in these little bites. Serve them for an everyday breakfast or pack them for lunch with a side salad.

How to Prepare Egg Sandwiches

In a pot on the stove, boil the eggs until hard-boiled (we like 7 to 8 minutes).

Once they’ve boiled, rinse them under cold water (or add them to an ice bath in a bowl) so that they are straightforward to peel.

Next, peel the eggs, then use a knife to split them in half and remove the yolk if you prefer.

Add your favorite sandwich ingredients such as mayo, lettuce, turkey breast and avocado.

Finally, put the egg tops on and then sprinkle with everything but the bagel seasoning.

Kitchen tip

Make sure to submerge the boiled eggs into freezing cold water as soon as they come out of the hot water so that they peel easily.
