- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise (high-qaulity, such as Duke's or Hellman's mayonnaise )
- 1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 2 tsp parsley (chopped - or chives, green onion or other fresh herb)
- 8 slices white bread
Instructions
Prepare the Hard-Boiled Eggs
- Place eggs in a medium pot and cover them with enough cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and let them simmer for about 11 minutes.
- Drain the water and place the eggs in a bowl with cool water and ice cubes to stop the cooking process.Peel the eggs and chop them finely.
Mix Egg Salad
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley or chives.
Assemble the Tea Sandwiches
- Spread the egg salad mixture evenly over four slices of bread. Top each with another bread slice, creating four sandwiches.
- For best results, use a serrated bread knife and a gentle sawing motion to trim the crusts off the bread slices for a polished look. Carefully cut each sandwich in two triangles or use a round cookie cutter to cut out round sandwiches.
