Egg Mayonnaise Sandwich
If you are taking the sandwiches to a picnic or storing leftover sandwiches in the fridge, wrap each sandwich with cling wrap all round to preserve freshness.
Ingredients:

- 1 tomato, sliced thinly
- a few romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (I used Japanese mayo but you can use other types as well)
- 1 tsp mustard
- sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- soft white bread
- butter or margarine spread

Noob Cook Tips
If you are concerned with the cholesterol content found in egg yolks, you can include only 1 or 2 egg yolks. I like to include all the egg yolks. Egg yolks are yummy ;)
