Hard Boiled Egg Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 4 whole Hard boiled eggs (To be hard boiled as the primary filling)
• 1 pinch Pepper (For seasoning)
• 1 pinch Salt (For seasoning)
• 1 portion Chopped tongue (Optional — add to egg filling if desired)
• 1 portion Ham (Optional — add to egg filling if desired)
• 1 portion Corned beef (Optional — add to egg filling if desired)

Instructions

1. 1Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and let the eggs cook for 10 minutes. This ensures the yolks are fully set and the eggs are properly hard boiled. While the eggs cook, prepare a bowl of cold water to place them in afterwards.
2. 2Once the eggs have finished cooking, transfer them immediately to the bowl of cold water. Let them sit in the cold water for at least 2 minutes — this stops the cooking process and makes peeling much easier. When cooled enough to handle, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel it away. Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any shell fragments.
3. 3Slice or roughly chop the peeled hard boiled eggs. Season them with a pinch of pepper and a pinch of salt. Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning to your preference. At this point, the seasoned egg is ready to use as a plain sandwich filling on its own.
4. 4If you wish to make a more substantial filling, mix the seasoned chopped egg together with any of the optional ingredients — chopped tongue, ham, or corned beef. Combine them well so the egg and the chosen meat are evenly distributed. The egg helps to bind and extend the meat, making a satisfying sandwich filling.
