Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 3 large eggs
Bread
- 2 slices of thick white bread
- 1 tsp butter, to spread on your bread
Harissa Egg Spread
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp harissa paste
Instructions
- Boil the eggs. Place 3 eggs in a small saucepan filled with boiling water and keep on medium heat. Set a timer for 6 minutes and then an additional 4 minutes to complete 10 minutes total.
- Cool the eggs. After 6 minutes, remove 2 eggs and place them in a bowl of cold water to stop cooking. After 10 minutes, remove the final egg and place it in a separate bowl of cold water.
- Prepare harissa egg mixture. Peel the 10-minute egg and mash it in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, finely sliced spring onions, chopped parsley, harissa paste, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
- Prepare the bread. Butter both slices of thick white bread evenly.
- Assemble the sandwich. Peel the two 6-minute eggs and slice each gently into halves. Place three halves face down on one slice of buttered bread. Add the remaining half of the 6-minute eggs to the harissa egg mixture and spoon the mixture generously around the egg halves on the bread.
- Close the sandwich. Place the second slice of buttered bread on top, fold the sandwich in baking paper if desired for easier handling.
- Serve or chill. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving for a cooler, slightly firmer texture.
Notes
- Timing the eggs carefully is key to achieving the perfect soft and hard boil.
- Adjust the amount of harissa paste based on your spice preference.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor and brightness in the egg mixture.
- Butter the bread liberally to prevent sogginess from the egg mixture.
- Chilling the sandwich slightly before eating helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to handle.
