Vegan Egg & Cress Sandwich
Questa ricetta è disponibile anche in italiano
Our vegan egg and cress sandwich is a simple affair, and it’s delicious too. The flavors speak for themselves, from the creamy vegan egg to the fresh cress.
The egg and cress sandwich is an understated hero of British food. It’s simple, fresh, tasty, and really easy to throw together with things that you’ve probably already got in your kitchen. Perfect!
If you wanted to add a little hit of something extra to these sandwiches, we’d recommend rooting through your cupboards to see if you can track down a pickle or two. Whether it’s a spreadable pickle like Branston’s or something like pickled cabbage or onions, it could add a really interesting new dimension to this sandwich. We’d love to see the sandwich with one or two slices of pickled onion in it - we’re sure it would be divine!
How To Make Vegan Egg & Cress Sandwich
First things first, you’ll need to make the vegan scrambled eggs according to this recipe. It’s a really simple recipe, and it’s one that I’ve had a lot of compliments on over the time since I made it - give it a go! Once you’ve made the vegan scrambled eggs, let them cool completely to room temperature.
Next, finely chop the onion, if you’re using it, and combine it with half of the cress. You can use the remaining cress for decoration, or use all of it in the mix - the choice is yours. To that combination, add the vegan mayo and the scrambled eggs. This is the filling for a sandwich, so give it a taste now for seasoning and adjust if you’d like.
The amounts listed in this article are enough for four sandwiches, so spread the filling over four pieces of bread, a quarter of the mixture per slice of bread. That’s a funny thing to have to explain, but we’re sure you got it.
After you’ve spread the filling, season each sandwich half with salt and pepper, before arranging the cucumber slices on top. I like to cut the cucumber into ribbons and roll them into cylinders for the look and the texture, but if you’d rather go for simple slices, you feel free!
Coat the remaining four slices of bread with a thin layer of vegan mayo, and then place the bread onto the topped half.
Then, cut the sandwiches however you might like and enjoy them straight away! We love to serve these as part of a vegan afternoon tea if we’re trying to be fancy, so go ahead and cut the sandwiches into fingers if you’d like.
