Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Watercress
- 4 slices Whole-grain bread
- 2 teaspoons Butter (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the 10 minutes are up, transfer the eggs to the ice water to cool for 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and chop them coarsely. Add them to a medium mixing bowl.
To the mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix with a fork until combined and slightly creamy.
Cut the avocado in half and scoop the flesh into a separate bowl. Add the lemon juice and mash the avocado with a fork until smooth.
Toast the slices of whole-grain bread if desired, and spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice (optional).
Spread the mashed avocado evenly across two slices of bread. Top the avocado with the egg salad mixture.
Scatter the watercress on top of the egg salad. Cover with the remaining slices of bread, pressing gently to hold the sandwich together.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!
