Gourmet Broodje Gezond with Zesty Honey Mustard

1Place the eggs (2 large) in a small saucepan and cover with cold water by one inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for 8 minutes for a perfectly firm but creamy yolk.

2Transfer the eggs (2 large) to an ice water bath for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs (2 large) and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

3Prepare the dressing by whisking the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl until the emulsion is smooth and glossy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4Slice the artisanal rolls lengthwise. If you prefer a warm crunch, place them cut-side up under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the interior is toasted but still yielding.

5Spread a generous tablespoon of the honey-mustard dressing onto the bottom and top halves of each roll, ensuring even coverage to act as a moisture barrier.

6Layer the bottom half of each roll with butter lettuce, followed by the artisanal ham folded for volume, and the slices of aged Gouda. The saltiness of the aged cheese provides the primary seasoning for the sandwich.

7Top the cheese with tomato slices, cucumber rounds, and the thinly sliced red onion (¼ small). Place the egg slices on top of the vegetables.

8Drizzle any remaining dressing over the eggs (2 large), close the sandwich, and press down lightly to marry the flavors. Serve immediately while the bread is fresh.
