Wholemeat roll with egg, mayo and lettuce filling

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 level tablespoon reduced-calorie mayonnaise
  • large pinch of black pepper
  • 1 large wholemeal bap
  • small wedge of lettuce, to give 2 tablespoons when shredded

Complete your lunchbox with:

  • 5 cherry tomatoes
  • fruit snack pot (tinned fruit in juice)
  • 200ml semi-skimmed milk

Method

  1. Place the egg in a small saucepan covered with water, bring to the boil and cook for 10 minutes. Plunge in cold water and leave to cool.

    Information:

    Cook the egg the night before to save time in the morning rush.

  2. Remove shell and mash the egg with the mayonnaise and pepper.

  3. Use to fill the bap, topping with the lettuce.

    Information:

    Try cress or baby spinach instead of the lettuce. Pat it dry before adding to the bap, to avoid soggy bread.
