Cook: 12 mins
Serves 1

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

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.

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