Some of these old cookbooks have some odd cooking techniques. For example, rather than saying to spread mayonnaise on the other slice on bread before closing they’ll say to spread it on the sandwich ingredients. Or, hardball and egg for 30 minutes. So when I saw the instructions for boiling an egg in 1907’s Woman’s Favorite Cook Book, I was a bit skeptical. At least the amount of time was correct. Turns out, this is my go-to method now for cooking hard boiled eggs (I still poke a pin hole in the round part fo the egg before cooking though). This sandwich has few ingredients but they all work really well together. All around a pleasant surprise from 1907.

Glad I watched this! Plussing this up with Trader Joe’s Hot and Sweet Pickled Jalapeños tomorrow morning.
I love a boiled egg sandwich but my plus up is green onion! I prefer mayo over butter but the green onion is a must!
Thats the way I do my eggs already!
why would you cook from a book for women? what the actual hell
Nice egg slicer.
i always cook my eggs that way. perfect every time.
as soon as you said dry mustard I thought this would be good
My lord I laughed so hard at that woohoo, blur was a classic.
Ah, hard-boiled eggs. I love mine medium-boiled with sriracha sauce, so 7 minutes in boiling water and 10 minutes in an ice bath. I'm convinced peeling is a crap shoot, but I just did 10 brown pasture-raised eggs (thin shells) and they peeled better than any ever. Next time, they'll peel harder than my prom date… but that's a story for another time. 🙂
Boil for 6 and a half minutes and you have soft boiled eggs like you get in ramen shops.
Also the blur reference really plussed up that intro
That did look the perfect jammy egg. I'll have to try that technique. Hard pass on capers, but enjoy
This channel has really upped my egg sandwich game.
Sometimes it's the simple things in life. Thanks Barry.
That technique for boiling eggs is really only problematic if you need aesthetically pleasing boiled eggs in the shell. Adding direct to the boil has a high rate of splits and leaks in my experience. Easter Eggs : no.
Egg sandwich/salad: sure.
I will make this for breakfast tomorrow, because I have everything to do it. Thanks
Excellent Song 2 reference
People boil eggs a different way? What the heck do ya'll do??
Egg slicers are one of the most useful kitchen tools.
Love your sandwiches, dialog and your great attitude trying new ideas. Your show makes me happy and that’s a real blessing in todays world.❤
Egg (hard boiled), salt, pepper, english mustard (teaspoon), marmite (half teaspoon), dash of tabasco, mashed together and spread on white buttered bread – lovely!
My grandmother would make this exact sandwich for me, so I wonder if she had that cookbook. It always had mustard powder, salt, pepper, butter, and that all-important sliced egg. I was fascinated by her egg slicer and thought that was the height of gastronomic technology – when I was six. My grandmother didn’t like to cook and did not spend lots of time with her grandchildren, but I have the happy memories of her making this for my lunch.
Do you know if you were using medium or large eggs? I wonder if egg size has an impact on cooking time and doneness.
Boiling eggs that way never works for me, they always pop.
I got the Blur reference 😉
Dry mustard always tastes very acrid to me, never was able to like it. I would plus up with fresh parsley and smoked paprika.
Thank you for sharing

Just to show the unoriginality of my mind, I have been making a sliced hard boiled egg sandwich for over 2 decades. I never knew it was already a thing. Lol you know what they say: there's nothing new under the sun
