Three basic ingredients make this sandwich our favorite: avocado, tomato, and hard-boiled egg. It may not sound like anything special, but you better try it before judging. Together, these three ingredients make the most delicious sandwich we’ve ever had, and Peruvians simply can’t get enough of it.
1 avocado
1 ripe tomato
2 hard-boiled eggs
¼ cup mayonnaise
6 slices white bread
Salt and pepper
1. Peel and thinly slice the avocado. Slice the tomato and put in a colander to drain. Slice the hard-boiled eggs.
2. Spread the mayonnaise on a slice of bread. Put a layer of avocado and another of tomato on top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Spread mayo on both sides of another slice of bread, and put this on top of the tomato.
4. Top with a layer of hard-boiled egg slices, and season with salt and pepper.
5. Spread one last slice of bread with mayo on one side, and put that side down, on top of the egg.
6. Cut each sandwich in half and serve.
Here’s a trick to ensure the bright green color of the avocado: after cutting it, place the seed in a glass of water and leave it there. As long as the seed is submerged in water, the avocado will be green. Does this work? You will have to try it to find out.
