Eggs
Bread & Butter
- 2 slices of thick white bread
- 1 teaspoon butter, to spread on your bread
Harissa Spread
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon harissa paste
- Boil Eggs: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil over medium heat. Gently add the 3 eggs and set a timer for 6 minutes and 10 minutes.
- Remove Eggs at Timed Intervals: After 6 minutes, remove two eggs and submerge them in a bowl of cold water to stop cooking. After 10 minutes, remove the last egg and place it in a separate bowl of cold water.
- Prepare Harissa Egg Mixture: Peel the 10-minute egg and place it in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, chopped spring onions, parsley, harissa paste, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- Butter Bread and Slice 6-Minute Eggs: Butter the two slices of bread. Peel the 6-minute eggs, then carefully slice them in half either lengthwise or widthwise.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place three halves of the 6-minute eggs face down on one slice of bread. Add the harissa egg mixture around and over the egg halves so they’re nicely submerged.
- Finish and Serve: Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread. Wrap the sandwich in baking paper. You can enjoy it immediately or refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving for a chilled option.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for best results and easier peeling.
- Adjust harissa paste quantity based on your preferred spice level.
- For a creamier texture, you can add a little extra mayonnaise to the harissa egg mixture.
- Serve immediately or chilled after refrigerating for a refreshing taste.
- This sandwich is best eaten the same day for optimal freshness.
