Craving a rich, satisfying lunch but short on time? This quick and easy creamy egg sandwich recipe comes together in minutes using ingredients you already have in your fridge. It is the ultimate low-effort, high-reward comfort food.
A creamy egg sandwich is a total crowd-pleaser. It features perfectly mashed eggs blended with rich mayonnaise, tangy sour cream, sharp Dijon, and crunchy fresh chives. Nestled between slices of thick, pillowy white or brown bread, it offers a heavenly, melt-in-your-mouth texture that satisfies with every bite. It is simple to make using everyday ingredients and delicious any time of day.
This would have to be my favourite sandwiches of all time. It's fast and easy to prepare and highly nutritious. I use 2 eggs per sandwich rather than one. I find 2 eggs much more satisfying than only using one egg.
What you'll need for the best Egg Sandwich
- Boiled eggs: Fresh eggs boiled to perfection, cooled in water and then separate eggs and whites before mashing.
- Mayonnaise: The best mayonnaise is whole egg. It's rich, velvety, and thick texture, offering a more robust, slightly tangy, and authentic flavour compared to yolk-only versions. My favourite brands are Hellman’s and S&W.
- Sour cream: Adds a rich, velvety texture and a subtle tang to egg sandwiches.
- Dijon mustard: It has a sharp, pungent, and slightly acidic flavour that perfectly balances the rich, fatty, and mild taste of egg yolks and mayonnaise.
- Chives: Gives egg sandwiches a mild, savoury, and fresh taste.
How to make a Creamy Egg Sandwich
- To make the best creamy egg sandwich, don't overcook the egg. Cook the eggs for 10 minutes and then place the eggs in cold water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process. The egg whites should be firm and the yolks fully cooked.
- Mash the egg yolks separately with the mayonnaise, sour cream and Dijon mustard for that creamy texture. Then mash the egg whites and mix these with the mashed egg yolk mixture.
- Don't use crusty sliced bread otherwise the filling will ooze out, use soft bread instead.
