Notes

For a more flavorful sandwich, consider adding a sprinkle of your favorite spices or herbs into the egg mixture. Ensure all vegetables are sliced thinly to achieve the best texture and balance in every bite. Wrapping the sandwich in plastic wrap and letting it rest for a few minutes can help it hold its shape better when slicing.
