Do you like yummy sandwiches? I have a fun recipe to share with you! It’s called a St. Paul sandwich. This sandwich is from a city called St. Paul in Minnesota.
The St. Paul sandwich has egg salad inside. To make egg salad, you take hard-boiled eggs and mash them up into tiny pieces. Then you mix the mashed-up eggs with mayonnaise and mustard. Mayonnaise is white and creamy, and mustard is yellow and tangy. They help make the egg salad taste good.
I hope you’ll try making this sandwich with a grown-up’s help. It’s great for lunch or a snack any day of the week. Now let’s get cooking!
How To Make The Exclusive St. Paul Sandwich
I love to make St. Paul sandwiches at home because they taste so yummy! The very first time I tried a St. Paul sandwich was when I visited Minnesota. My friend there made it for me. As soon as I took a bite, I knew it was my new favorite sandwich!
The St. Paul sandwich has fluffy white bread on the outside and smooth egg salad on the inside. To make the egg salad, I boil eggs until they are hard. Then I mush up the hard boiled eggs into tiny pieces in a bowl. Next I mix in creamy mayonnaise, tangy mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the egg salad is ready, I scoop it onto a slice of bread. I top it with another slice of bread. Now my homemade St. Paul sandwich is ready to munch on!
I love to eat St. Paul sandwiches for lunch. They give me energy to play and have fun all afternoon. Sometimes I even have them for a weekend snack. I think you’d love these yummy sandwiches too. Maybe we can make them together soon! Let’s gather the ingredients and get cooking!
Ingredients For St. Paul Sandwich
- 1 pound of pork loin or chicken breast
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 slices of white bread
- Lettuce, pickles, and mayonnaise, to taste
Make sure you have everything you need, including materials and tools, on hand, before you start. For this recipe to work, you’ll need a deep pot or deep fryer in which to fry the meat, as well as a large, flat work surface on which to bread the meat.
Step By Step Instructions To Make St. Paul Sandwich
Start by preparing the meat. If you are using pork loin, slice it into 1/4-inch thick slices. If you are using chicken breast, slice it into 1/4-inch thick cutlets.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs.
Dip each piece of meat into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the meat into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the meat in the bread crumbs, making sure it is evenly coated on all sides. Repeat the process with the remaining pieces of meat.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or deep fryer until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Carefully place the breaded meat into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the breading is golden brown and the meat is cooked through.
Remove the fried meat from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining pieces of meat.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a piece of fried meat on one slice of bread. Top the meat with lettuce, pickles, and mayonnaise, to taste. Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread and press gently to close.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, while the meat is still hot and the bread is crisp.
How To Store Homemade The Exclusive St. Paul Sandwich
St. Paul sandwiches cooked at home can be stored in the fridge for up to three days if they are tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. To keep the sandwiches fresh for a longer period of time, you can also freeze them. Wrap the sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container with tight closure. You can keep it in the freezer for up to three months if you date the bag or container.
The best way to enjoy a St. Paul Sandwich straight from the freezer is to take it out many hours (or even overnight) before you plan on eating it. The sandwich can also be defrosted in the microwave for a few minutes. After defrosting, you can rewarm the sandwich in the microwave or on the stove until it is hot and the bread is toasted.
Wrap the sandwiches tightly to keep the contents from escaping or getting mushy. It’s best to add lettuce and pickles (if using) right before serving so that they stay crisp.
When you’re ready to enjoy your handmade St. Paul Sandwiches, they’ll still taste great if you store them properly.
