Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- a small bunch of chives, sliced
- a handful of watercress, or a punnet of cress
- 4 slices of soft white bread, buttered
- a pinch of white pepper
Method
Boil to jammy, not chalky
Lower the eggs into boiling water and cook for 9 minutes, then plunge into iced water. Nine minutes gives a fully set yolk with no grey ring; boiled to twelve, the yolk goes chalky and the filling turns dry.
9 minPeel and chop unevenly
Peel under running water, then chop roughly so some pieces stay chunky. Mashed to a uniform paste it stops tasting of egg and starts tasting of mayonnaise.
Bind and season hard
Fold through the mayonnaise, mustard, chives, salt and white pepper. Egg needs far more salt than feels reasonable — taste and then add more.
Build with cress
Butter the bread — butter as well as mayonnaise, since it stops the bread going damp — pile the filling on and add a thick layer of cress. Cut off the crusts if you are feeling traditional.
