Ingredients
- For the Smashed Egg – Makes enough for 6 club sandwiches
3 medium eggs, hard boiled (cooked for 7 mins) & peeled
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives (can use parsley or dill to suit)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
grind freshly ground black pepper
- To Assemble
3 fresh sandwich bread slices
Directions
- In a bowl, smash the cooked eggs with a fork then mix in the remaining ingredients. Make it as smooth or as chunky as you like.
Make a batch of smashed eggs and create your very own combinations eg;
– Ham, mustard & smashed egg
– Cold-smoked salmon & smashed egg
– Smashed egg & tartare – Add some grated lemon rind, 1 tsp capers (rinsed and drained) and 1 small gherkin finely chopped and mix into the egg salad mix.
– Smashed egg & lettuce – the all time classic favourite.
Or try a little one-egg omelette and combine this with crispy streaky bacon and chilli jam for a wonderful breakfast club sandwich. - Spread the egg salad mix on to one slice of bread, place another piece of bread on top (middle layer) and add another ingredient, and place a slice of bread on top.
Trim all the crusts off, and slice in to thirds, to club sized finger sandwiches – as per pic.
TIPS
- For ease of peeling hard boiled eggs, start the eggs in salted warm water then bring to the boil. Drain and immerse in cold water once cooked, and then peel.
