Frequently Asked Questions

You can use a small glass or knife to carefully cut out a circle or any preferred shape.

How do I know when the sandwich is done baking?

The outside should be golden and crispy, and the egg white fully set but yolk still soft, usually after about 10 minutes.

Can I add extra seasoning or herbs?

Yes, herbs like oregano or chives can enhance the flavor without overpowering the sandwich.

Is it possible to make this sandwich vegan?

To make it vegan, use plant-based cheese, replace the egg with a tofu scramble or vegan egg substitute, and use vegan deli slices.
