As discussed before in our blog about the importance of cooking with kids, the most effective way of making kids understand how important it is to opt for healthy eating habits is to get them involved. It not only teaches them the art of cooking but also unleashes their creative side. There are several easy ways to make dishes that you can try with your kids. For instance, kids love mayonnaise. And Nutralite tandoori mayonnaise is a great source of vitamins A, D2 and E. So a tandoori mayo sandwich would be a great idea.
Here, we’ve shared an egg sandwich recipe with mayo, i.e. Egg Mayonnaise Sandwiches, which is one of the best cooking ideas for kids as it is easy to make. So, without further ado, let’s get into it.
Ingredients
- Bread slices (4)
- Nutralite DoodhShakti Probiotic Butter Spread (1 tbsp)
- Crushed black pepper (¼ tbsp)
- Salt (very less)
- Eggs (4)
- Nutralite Veg Mayonnaise/ Tandoori Mayo (Based on your preference) (3-4 tbsp)
- Mustard (1 tbsp)
- Small onions (2)
- Lemon juice (1 tbsp)
- Red chili flakes (1 tbsp)
- Dried herbs (1 tbsp)
- Parsley (2-3 tbsp)
- Finely crushed garlic clove (2)
Instructions
- Step 1
Mother: Boil the eggs in a pressure cooker or pot for around 7 minutes and then let the pressure out slowly. Take an egg and show your kids how to peel it while talking about how easy it is so your kids have no other option, except to do it right.
Kid(s): You don’t want your kids to feel left out, right? So, make them peel the remaining eggs slowly. - Step 2
Mother: Take out the yolk part of each and every egg, and show your kids how to chop an egg into small, tiny pieces without creating a mess.
Kid(s): Make them chop the remaining eggs into tiny pieces along with pieces of yolks. (With a butter knife, ofcourse!) - Step 3
Mother: Chop the onions, and arrange all the spices and herbs in the right quantities right in front of your kids, including pepper, garlic, mustard, parsley, dried herbs, and chopped onions. Now, tell them what every spice and herb is called so they know what they’re doing.
Kid(s): They love to add spices and herbs, regardless of the dish you’re making. It makes them feel involved and triggers the chef in them. So, make them add the spices and herbs to the egg-yolk mix. - Step 4
Mother: Add lemon juice to the mix after mixing the ingredients mentioned in the previous step.
Kid(s): Kids love Mayo. It’s up to them as to what flavour they like. Nutralite’s tandoori mayonnaise is a popular choice among them. We are known for making the best eggless mayonnaise in India, so if you’re vegetarian, and you are looking for eggless mayonnaise brands, check out our range of healthy Mayonnaise variants. - Step 5
Mother: Here’s a suggestion, to make it a little more fun. Don’t do anything now and watch your kids looking at you, wondering what the next step is, with curiosity in their eyes. Make them wait. Make them feel like it’s a prank.
Kid(s): The moment they start getting a little impatient and disappointed, surprise them with a wooden mixing tool, and make them mix everything in the bowl well. - Step 6
Mother: Now add red chilli flakes and a little bit of salt, as per taste.
Kid(s): Ask them to gather the bread slices and coat them with our healthy butter, one by one! - Step 7
Mother: Toast the bread slices in an oven for approximately 4 minutes at around 180-degree celsius.
Kid(s): Make them spread the egg Mayo mix on the bread slices evenly and pretend like this is the most important part of the recipe, so they give their best. Your egg sandwich with mayonnaise will be ready in no time!
And there you have it. That’s the egg sandwich recipe with mayonnaise. Now, serve the mayo sandwiches to your kid on a plate with some Nutralite Veg Mayo or Nutralite Tandoori Mayonnaise as a dipping sauce, and watch them devour each and every bite of it with a sense of pride and joy.
Cooking with your kids will help them properly opt for a healthy lifestyle faster and will also make them self-reliant. And showing them just how easy it is to whip up an egg mayo sandwich will encourage them to try making it on their own. So, if you are really tired of watching your kids hogging on junk food every day, get them involved and cook easy to make dishes with them.
What are some creative toppings for egg mayo sandwiches?
Egg mayo sandwiches get even better with thoughtful toppings. Sliced cucumbers add freshness, while shredded lettuce brings a satisfying crunch. Thin rings of red onion or a few pickled jalapeños give adults a welcome kick. You can also layer in sliced avocado or roasted cherry tomatoes for a colourful finish. Using Nutralite Cheesy Garlic Mayo in the egg filling itself adds an extra layer of flavour, making the sandwich feel gourmet without any additional effort or time.
Can I add vegetables to egg mayo sandwiches for kids?
Adding vegetables to egg mayo sandwiches is a smart and easy way to boost nutrition without changing the taste kids already love. Finely grated carrot, corn kernels, or chopped capsicum blend well into the egg filling. When you use Nutralite Veg Mayo as the binding agent, the natural creaminess masks the texture of vegetables, making even fussy eaters happy. Keep the cuts small and the mayo generous, and kids often eat their vegetables without even noticing.
How long can egg mayo filling be stored in the refrigerator?
Freshly prepared egg mayo filling stays good for up to two days when you store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Beyond that, the texture can turn watery and the flavour dulls significantly. To extend freshness, add the mayo just before serving rather than mixing it in advance. Nutralite mayo’s smooth, stable consistency helps the filling hold together well. Always check for freshness before use, and keep the container sealed tightly to avoid contamination.
How do I make egg mayo sandwiches less messy for kids?
The secret to mess-free egg mayo sandwiches lies in the texture and the build. Make the filling slightly firmer by not over-mashing the eggs, and avoid overfilling the bread. Toasting the slices lightly helps the bread hold its structure and prevents sogginess. Nutralite mayo binds the filling together without making it runny, which makes a real difference. Wrapping the sandwich in parchment paper or foil before serving also keeps things neat for kids eating on the move.
What are some side dishes that go well with egg mayo sandwiches?
Egg mayo sandwiches pair wonderfully with light, crisp sides that complement rather than overpower the creamy filling. A small bowl of tomato soup, a fresh cucumber and onion salad, or a handful of baked chips all work well. For kids, carrot sticks with Nutralite Cheesy Garlic Mayo as a dip make a fun and nutritious addition to the meal. Keeping sides simple and colourful ensures the whole plate feels balanced, cheerful, and satisfying without much extra effort.
