Egg & Cress
Sandwich
Step 1.
Start by boiling the eggs. Bring a pot of water to a boil and gently lower in the eggs. Cook for 8 mins – we are looking for the yolk to be set but still slightly jammy. When they are cooked, drain and cool them under some cold water. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them.
Step 2.
Roughly cut the Parmesan into chunks. Get your watercress into a blender with the garlic, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Throw in your Parmesan chunks and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Blend until combined but still a bit chunky. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3.
Finely chop the chives. Halve one egg lengthways, setting aside one of the halves for assembly. Add the rest of the eggs (that’s three and a half of them) to a bowl and mash them up. Add in the mayo, Dijon, chives and a squeeze of lemon juice and mix well, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 4.
Spread half of your pesto on one slice of the bread. Top it with the halved egg, cut-side down, then encase the egg with your egg mayo mixture. Add the rest of your pesto again and top it with the other slice of bread before wrapping up and cutting in half.
