  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Mash and Chop: Drain the sardines thoroughly, then mash them lightly with a fork. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.
  2. Combine Seasonings: Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper to the sardines and chopped eggs, mixing well to distribute the flavors evenly.
  3. Mix with Mayonnaise: Gradually add 1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise to the sardine and egg mixture, stirring until you achieve a creamy, spreadable consistency.

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.
