Ingredients

  • 6 soft-boiled eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp finely chopped chives
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • 8 slices soft white sandwich bread
  • 1 oz soft salted butter, for spreading

Method

  1. Bring a pan of water to a boil, lower in the eggs and cook for 7 minutes for jammy yolks. Cool in cold water, then peel.
  2. Roughly chop the eggs and place in a bowl.
  3. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, chives, pepper and salt. Mix gently, mashing some of the egg but leaving plenty of chunky pieces. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Butter each slice of bread right to the edges.
  5. Divide the egg mixture between four slices, spread it evenly, top with the remaining bread and press gently.
  6. Trim the crusts if you like, cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve at once.
