Serves: 12
Ingredients
6 slices firm white bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 to 2 cherry tomatoes
2 hard-cooked eggs
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 to 2 lettuce leaves, finely shredded
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
Watercress
Instructions
With a serrated knife, trim and discard crusts from each bread slice. Butter one side of each slice; set aside.
Cut tomatoes in half and scoop out flesh and seeds; dice tomatoes.
In a medium bowl, mash eggs. Stir in tomatoes, onion, lettuce, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spread a thick layer of egg mixture onto buttered side of each bread slice. Top with watercress and cover with the remaining bread slices, butter side down, to make 3 sandwiches.
With a serrated knife, cut each sandwich diagonally into 4 triangles. Serve immediately or cover with a damp tea towel or paper towels and refrigerate until ready to serve.
