-A 1905 British cookbook describes an "egg sandwich" made with sliced hard-boiled eggs, marinated in oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper, and garnished with minced watercress. An "egg and chutney sandwich" is made from [[chutney]] and minced hard-boiled eggs; an "egg cream" sandwich from hard-boiled eggs pounded into a smooth paste and seasoned with anchovies and mustard.<ref>{{cite book|title=The "Queen" Cookery Books No. 9: Salads, Sandwiches, and Savories, Second Edition|first = S. |last=Beaty-Pownal|year=1905|publisher=Horace Cox|location=London}} pp. 33-4, online [https://books.google.com/books?vid=0Z6NOEJV9rYePio1Y3I&id=gKlUVNZv-C0C&pg=PA33]. Note: description based on Google Books title page, which differs slightly from Google Books "about this book" information.</ref> A common alternative is to mash the hard-boiled egg together with [[mayonnaise]], [[salt]] and [[black pepper]], usually called simply ''egg spread'', or an ''egg mayonnaise'' or ''egg mayo''. [[Garden cress|Cress]] is often seen as the typical accompaniment to an egg sandwich. [[Salad cream]] is also a common alternative to mayonnaise, mainly within the UK.

-Prompted by meat rationing during World War II, a manager for a [[White Castle (restaurant)|White Castle]] at [[St. Louis]] introduced the first [[fast food]] egg dish with a fried egg sandwich. However, the dish was unpopular, and was abandoned as soon as wartime meat [[rationing]] was lifted. Fast food restaurants did not begin serving egg dishes again until the 1970s, starting with the [[McDonald's]] [[Egg McMuffin]], invented in 1971 by a McDonald's [[franchisee]] in [[Santa Barbara, California]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Smith |first=Andrew F. |title=Fast Food and Junk Food: An Encyclopedia of What We Love to Eat, Volume 1
