Now, more than ever is the time to stay inside. And you have to keep yourself involved somehow. Rekindle an old hobby, cook your heart away and there is always the world of streaming services. I made an easy egg sandwich today while watching re-runs of Downton Abbey. It is of paramount importance that we all stay in, and safe. But also that we keep our mental health in check and yummy food almost always helps!

Ingredients for 1 Egg Sandwich
- Multigrain/ Focaccia bread – 1 (or any bread for that matter)
- Eggs – 2
- Potatoes – 1
- Bell pepper – 1/4
- Coconut oil – 1 tbsp
- Cheddar cheese, grated – 2 tbsp
- Mayonnaise – 1 tbsp
- Jalapeno mayonnaise – 1 tbsp (or any hot sauce)
- Salt and pepper – to taste
Method
- Crack the eggs in a bowl, add about two tablespoons of water and whisk well.
- Wash the vegetables thoroughly. Halve the potato, splash some water and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Peel the potatoes and mash with a fork. Dice the bell pepper into cubes.
- Toast the bread lightly on a hot non-stick pan and set aside.
- Grease the non-stick pan generously with coconut oil.
- Add the whisked eggs to the pan, tip the pan lightly and spread through the pan. Cook on medium-low heat so that the eggs don’t overcook. Flip over and cook for another minute. You can also take the pan off the heat if, like me, it takes you time to flip your eggs. Make sure you have greased the pan well.
- Triple fold the eggs and remove from the pan.
- In a separate pan, add the mashed potatoes and bell pepper. Cook till the potatoes are slightly brown.
- Smear the mayonnaise on one slice of the bread and hot sauce/ jalapeno mayo on the other. Place the folded egg, top with potatoes and bell pepper. Top with cheese and sandwich it back.
