Sometimes, or maybe even every now and then, we should ditch our regular meals aside for a simply put together home style sandwiches. I however, honestly and sincerely, am not at all a bread person (Tomato Rice Pilaf). And despite me having had tried really hard, I somehow still can't swallow any, whichever type of bread made. Usually, a bread meal is prepared for my other half-half, which in return must be interpreted as, he and bread are best friends (Tuna Burgers, Mushroom Veggie Burger & Lamb Burgers). Then again, since I am not a fussy eater and when I am hungry anything goes, and when I have to prepare a meal after a tiring working day, let it even be bread. Furthermore, can you imagine how much of time I have to spent in the kitchen if I have to prepare a bread meal for my other half-half, followed by a meal for myself (Dried Shrimp Sambal Sandwich, Fish Sandwich & Vegetarian Sandwich)?
On this particular day, after being stalled on the road due to rain and traffic jam, the moment I hit home, all I could think of was using up the bread (Pineapple Bread Pudding & Sardine Roll) in my kitchen and of course, there's always stock of eggs. Eggs of course are forever a delight for both of us. The outcome to bread and eggs in tandem (Eggs Benedict, Egg Potato Curry & Egg Curry Masala)? These Asian Egg Mayonnaise Sandwiches. Like a quick fix meal - egg, mayonnaise, spring onion, butter, pepper and salt mixed together and filled between toasted bread slices, and decked by tomato and cucumber, plus some chili sauce atop (Creamy Avocado Yogurt Dip). I did it yea! How about you?
