Gourmet Egg Sandwiches



I have chickens, its not news to a lot of the people who know me considering I tell just about everyone around me. They produce an average of 3 eggs per day. For a family of four who used to have a member that could eat 6 eggs per day, you would think that the average my chickens produce wouldn't be enough. But, instead of propelling my brother to eat eggs everyday and consume all the eggs my chickens produced, it changed his perspective on eggs by valueing them. Plus, I showed him a video of where store bought eggs come from and that really steered him from eating eggs.

This whole delimma doesn't mean we don't eat eggs at all. Instead, my brother eats eggs when there's nothing else to cook or if we want to make something quick and small. Did I mention my chickens produced eggs about half the size of eggs that you would normally find in the store. Now, you might ask what makes this thing so "gourmet" well its the mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is mixed with a very small amount of fresh chives. Yup, I said fresh chives. I don't know how it would taste with dried chives but the fresh ones seem to do the trick.

Egg Sandwich

2 small eggs per person or 1 store bought eggs.
1 pan de sal sliced in half or 2 slices of regular sliced loaf bread
1 slice of cheese per sandwich
1/2 tbsp. mayonnaise
1/2 tbsp. sour cream
1/8 tsp fresh chives
1/8 tsp lemon
salt and pepper to taste

Take the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon and fresh chives, some salt and pepper and mix together. Beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Cook the egg mixture in a greased pan over the stove. By the way, do not over salt the egg mixture or the mayonnaise mixture, you need salt to taste but becareful when adding as to not kill the recipe. To the cooking egg mixture, you can sprinkle in some grated cheese on it or when cook set aside. Toast the bread in the toaster or on the pan and slather some of the mayonnaise mixture. Put the cheese and top with the cooked egg. Voila, gourmet egg sandwich.
