Egg and mayo grilled sandwich

Hello friends.

Does this happen in your household too? Some family member and yourself end up buying an item or product needed in the kitchen. This time round my husband and me bought one dozen eggs each. Haa!!! So many eggs!! And just the two of us.

With two dozen eggs on hand, I quickly boiled ten of them in one go. It is going to be an eggy day ahead. Now that is the reason behind my Saturday quick lunch fix. It  was boiled egg and mayo sandwich. This egg mayo sandwich recipe is so easy and quick to make. Turned out yummy, I used the filling in regular laadi pav, you can use sliced bread instead. This makes a good tiffin snack or dry lunch.

To make 3 sandwiches or pavs.

Ingredients

6 slices wheat bread or 3 normal  pavs
3 bolied eggs
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped coriander leaves


Method

1. Crack and peel the boiled  eggs & crumble in a bowl
2  Sprinkle salt, pepper and chilli flakes and mix well.

3. Now add the mayonnaise and chopped corriander to this. Mix and mix till all ingredients combine to form a paste.
4. Slit the bread from the middle & place egg mixture & evenly spread. Gently press so that the batter doesn't ooze out.
5. You can eat it cold. Or then butter a pan and lightly toast it on both sides before serving.
6. Serve this immediately with tomato chilli sauce.

Note - You can grill it in a toaster or oven. Add cheese to this too but that really gets heavy and takes the taste of of the egg. Cheese spread can be another option.
So keep it simple, the lesser the ingredients truly enhances the taste.

Chicken Omelette

Parsis love their eggs in any form. Scrambled, poached, sunny side up, akuri and above all omelettes. Infact in my house no one can refuse an omelette for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And then all those ingredients we can add to enhance the flavors. masala, vegetable, garlic, mushrooms, cheese, sausage etc. 

Drooling na?

Today I cooked up a chicken omelette, using left over chicken bits from my previous dish and other ingredients easily available to me.  It turned out equally yummy. So note down the ingredients and get those eggs cracking.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 100 gms  boneless shredded chicken. 
• 1 green chilly
• 1 onion 
• 1 tsp black pepper powder
• Few fresh coriander leaves
• 1/2 tsp red chilly powder
• 1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
• Salt to taste
• 1 cube grated cheese (optional)
• Ghee or oil for frying
• Few drops of milk

Method

1. Break four eggs in a large bowl and whisk well.
   
2. Shred the chicken, chop the onions, corriander leaves and chilly.
   
3. Now add boiled chicken, cheese and other ingredients and give it a good beating. 😂 You can add milk to this mixture in the end.
   
   
   
4.  Take a non stick frying pan and add oil to it. See that the oil is hot before you start preparing.
   
5.  Now pour two ladles of egg batter into the pan. Spread the egg mixture evenly in it and simmer the flame now.
   
   
   
6. Leave the eggs to cook for 1- 2 minutes on low flame.
   
   
   
   
   
7. Flip the omelette and cook on the other side.
   
8. Leave to cook for one more minute and serve immediately.
   
9. Serve with toast, butter, ketchup and a few vegetables on the side. Add grated cheese to the outer layer of omelette if required.

Note- Do not over cook the egg, as it gets rubbery and chewy
