Egg mayonnaise sandwiches

Ingredients

Ten large eggs

Twenty pieces of sliced bread; white or brown

Parsley

Mayonnaise

Salt

Step 1

Put the eggs gently into cold water and boil for seven minutes.

The water should cover the tops of the eggs.

Add a couple of pinches of salt to the water as this will stop the eggs from cracking in the hot water.

Step 2

When boiled for seven minutes leave in hot water for a further two minutes.

Pour out the hot water and add the cooked eggs to a bowl of cold water.

Remove the shells from the eggs.

If this is sometimes difficult dip the egg back into the cold water and continue to strip all the shells from the eggs   

Step 3

Mash up the boiled eggs with a fork.

First do this roughly into big pieces.

Then continue to use the fork to make the boiled eggs into smaller pieces suitable for the egg mayo sandwiches.

Step 4

Add the fresh parsley

Fresh parsley straight from a parsley plant really makes a difference with the taste of these egg mayonnaise sandwiches.

You can grow them in your own garden or buy a plant at the supermarket and leave it to grow in the pot in a sunny position in your kitchen.

Remove a bunch of the parsley from the plant and cut away the storks.

Chop up the parsley into smaller pieces.

The amount and size of the chopped parsley depends on your own preference.

I prefer to leave the parsley large enough so that it is clearly visible in the sandwich.

This also brings out the fresh taste of this wonderful herb.

Mix it well into the eggs in the bowl.

Step 5

Take a few large spoons of mayonnaise and put them into the bowl.

The amount will again depend on your taste.

I like to use a lot of mayonnaise because it brings the ingredients together and makes for a tastier sandwich.

The eggs should be moist and wet once everything is mixed.

You can at this stage add some salt but only very little as the eggs do not really need that much to flavour it.

Cover the bowl with cling film and leave in the fridge for thirty minutes.

Step 6

Butter your bread.

Remove the egg mayonnaise from the fridge.

Spread the mixture on the bread to make the sandwich.

Cut the egg mayo sandwich in to triangles.

Place on a large covered tray.

Decorate with chopped up fresh parsley.

Leave in fridge until needed.

As you can see from this step by step guide the very popular egg mayo sandwich is quick and easy to make and delicious to eat. I have included my own photos as I prepared this recipe so you can see how easy it is to make these Egg Mayonaisse Sandwiches. 

So next time you are organising a party at home why not add the Egg Mayonnaise sandwich to your party food.

Your guests will thank you.
