On Saturday afternoon I felt a bit lazy, cooking was just out of the question, and Silver Mamma Chef's Kitchen was closed for the day.
So... I decided to make "egg and mayonnaise sandwiches"
This sandwich is one of my favorites and takes me back a good few decades to my childhood at school and would like to share it with you.
It was a regular treat in my lunch-box back then; Oh boy!...and my teacher's worst nightmare.
I used to sneak a bite behind my desktop during lessons...too impatient to wait for break time which seemed so far away for me, everyone in the class knew when I opened my desk, the aroma from the egg went wafting through the air around the classroom, Lol! creating havoc amongst my class-mates.
One day, Miss Ross, my teacher at the time, caught me red-handed...Oh boy!...was I in trouble.
"Cheryl...have you opened your lunch box again"? she screamed out agitated.
I thought she was going to pop a vein in her neck...carried on like a bloody fish wife for at least a full five minutes...I mean...I couldn't understand what the fuss was all about, after all...it was just a egg and mayo sandwich and I couldn't resist it at that moment.
Well...it didn't end well at all that day, egg sandwiches were banned in our class... I was threatened with detention after school, 1...for eating in class, 2... for disrupting the class, and 3... I was never to bring egg mayo sandwiches to school ever again while in Miss Ross's class.
So peanut butter and jam sandwiches.became the order of the day. It was better than staying for detention. Lol!
I still had my Egg Mayo Sandwiches after school for lunch, and could enjoy them quite happily without any complaints from "Miss Ross" or my class mates Hehe!
Well!...today I thought I'd make my Egg and Mayo Sandwich a little different than when I was a child.
I added a bit of lettuce, onion and tomato with a sprinkle of celery leaves.
I felt a little industrious and made some plaited homemade bread.
It's really quite easy to make, just a normal bread dough recipe, instead of the regular form...I plaited the dough.
Mash egg with fork and add all the salad ingredients with a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Very quick and easy.
Thumbs up to John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, the inventor of the notorious sandwich which makes life a little easier when it comes to dinner.
It really is my comfort food...so delicious. Omg...don't forget the salt and pepper.
I hope you enjoy your "Egg and Mayonnaise Sandwich" as much as I do.
I'm off to see what Silver Mamma Chef is up to in her kitchen for dinner.
Until next time "Bon Appetit".
