Method
Wash the green4 onions and rye2 bread, keep the butter3 at room temperature, cut the green onions into 0.5 cm pieces, and wash the eggs1 before boiling, preparing cold water for cooling.
Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan; boil the eggs1 hard for 9 minutes, then transfer to cold water and cool to room temperature, shell them.
Peel the eggs1, mash with a fork into large crumbs, add soft butter3, salt and green4 onion, and mix until smooth.
Spread the egg-butter3 mixture evenly on each slice of rye2 bread.
Distribute the mixture over all bread slices, and, if desired, fold into sandwiches or leave open-faced.
Arrange the sandwiches on a plate and serve immediately; optionally sprinkle with green4 onion before serving.
Tips
- Why it works
- Boil eggs for exactly 9 minutes to avoid a greenish ring around the yolk, which happens if overcooked. Undercooked eggs stay runny inside.
- Substitutions
- Use 10g chives instead of green onion for a milder taste; replace rye bread with whole wheat if unavailable.
- Common mistakes
- Overmashing the egg turns it greasy. Stop when it’s still slightly chunky. Notice by shiny, wet texture instead of crumbly.
- Storing and reheating
- Store in an airtight container for 3 days; reheat in a toaster or microwave for 20 seconds until warm.
- Serve with
- Pair with a cup of black coffee or a glass of cold milk for a balanced breakfast.
