Deviled egg salad sandwich roll is definitely the best for your breakfast or a simple lunch. The full-bodied flavor of the eggs with the creamy mayonnaise and Dijon mustard goes best with a soft sandwich roll. I usually prepare the egg salad ahead of time, put it in the fridge, and top the roll with pickles or cucumbers for a healthy and quick breakfast the next day.
Deviled egg salad recipe:
This quick-deviled egg salad can be prepared in just 5 minutes. That’s because I use pre-made soy sauce egg (ramen egg). The creamy, half-cooked egg yolk provides a rich egg flavor and smooth texture. Another advantage of the soy sauce egg is that it’s a salty taste of soy sauce and a slight taste of cooking wine. This adds even more flavor to this deviled egg salad sandwich roll.
What you need:
It’s really easy and quick to make, without too many ingredients. What you need is:
- Boiled eggs or soy sauce egg (ramen egg) – I prefer soy sauce egg, it gives more flavor and I love the creamy, half-cooked yolk. If you use boiled eggs, you can also use hard-boiled eggs with half-cooked yolk. That way the yolk itself is very creamy and you don’t have to add too much mayonnaise. This can reduce calories.
- Mayonnaise – to reduce calories, I use light mayo, mayo with avocado oil, or olive oil. It’s definitely better for your health.
- Dijon mustard – any brand of Dijon mustard, sometimes I like to use grainy Dijon mustard to have more texture.
- Paprika – for the flavor of roasted red peppers.
- Salt – to adjust the flavor.
- Pepper – to adjust the flavor.
- Sandwich rolls – you also can use buns, toast, or baguettes.
How to make perfect hard-boiled eggs:
The most important thing to do to make perfect hard-boiled eggs is to put the eggs all together in a pot of cold water. Turn on the heat on the stove, cover the pot and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for 1 minute and turn off the heat. Leave it in the hot water for the following times, depending on the desired boiling level: 3 minutes for SOFT boiled; 6 minutes for MEDIUM boiled; 10 minutes for HARD boiled. Very important: Close the lid completely, don’t open it. Then you’ll get the perfect hard-boiled egg.
How do you boil eggs that peel easily?
Just add a little salt and vinegar to the water when you put it in the pot with the eggs and water, just before you start cooking. The salt will penetrate the shell a little bit and the vinegar will help break up the shells to make them easier to peel. It’s so amazing you should try it.
