Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs free-range for best flavor
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise use full-fat for creaminess
  • ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard for a slight tang
  • ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, for acidity
  • ¼ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or white pepper
  • 4 slices bread white or whole wheat, your choice
  • ½ pot garden cress for garnish and a peppery bite

Method
 

  1. Place the eggs into a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a gentle boil, then cook for 8 minutes once boiling.
  2. Prepare a large bowl of ice-cold water. Once the eggs are done, remove from the pot and plunge them into the cold water. Leave for several minutes to cool completely.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  4. Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on the countertop to crack the shells. Peel off the shells and chop the eggs finely on a cutting board.
  5. Add the chopped eggs to the prepared mayonnaise mixture. Stir to combine, adjusting seasoning to taste.
  6. For afternoon tea-style sandwiches, trim the crusts off the bread slices.
  7. Spread a small amount of egg mayo on one slice of bread. Place a generous amount on the second slice. Top with a handful of garden cress.
  8. Place the two slices of bread together with the filling in the middle. Slice as desired and serve immediately.
