Sandwich with tomato and spicy egg cream
2 servings
15 minutes
A sandwich with tomatoes and spicy egg cream is an exquisite example of British culinary art, combining the freshness of vegetables, the spiciness of capers, and the tenderness of a cottage cheese-based egg cream. This recipe is inspired by traditional English breakfasts where eggs play a key role, and spicy notes make the dish refined and rich. The sandwich is crispy thanks to rye toasts, while basil adds aromatic freshness. The harmonious combination of the cream's soft texture and juicy tomatoes creates a rich flavor perfect for morning enjoyment or a light snack. It can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with a cup of fragrant tea, as is customary in Britain.
