Notes
- Drain the sardines well to avoid excess moisture in the sandwich filling.
- The amount of mayonnaise can be adjusted based on how creamy you want the spread.
- For added freshness, consider adding lettuce or sliced tomatoes.
- Use whole-grain or rye bread to boost fiber content and add texture.
- Hard boil eggs perfectly by simmering for about 9-12 minutes for firm yolks.
