Ham and Egg Sandwich
My husband loves this ham and egg sandwich.He often brings this to the office.The egg is cooked for 15 minutes so the yolk is hard-boiled. If you prefer it soft-boiled, please reduce the cooking time.If you cut the crusts off the bread, keep the egg mixture about 1cm away from the edge. It will be easier to cut that way.Use the cut off crusts to make pseudo-French toast. Recipe by Tomomaki0313

Old School Lunch-Style Egg and Cucumber Salad Sandwiches
Eating these always make me nostalgic for school lunches. It's an easy, relatively simple sandwich but I have never seen this anywhere else so I posted this recipe. My sister, who went to the same school, says 'I don't remember this.' I wonder why. A lot of people seem to like it anyway!The cucumber is prepared with salt, so don't use too much mayonnaise. When I was an elementary school student, I used to think that the mustard in mine was too strong so you might not need any mustard for your children's sandwiches. I think these are easier to eat than regular egg and sliced cucumber sandwiches. For 1 serving. Recipe by 明日見
