These classic egg and watercress sandwiches are a quintessential British favourite, offering a delicate balance of creamy textures and peppery flavours. The richness of the mashed boiled eggs is perfectly offset by the fresh, biting crunch of the watercress leaves, making every mouthful feel light yet satisfying. Whether you choose soft, sliced wholemeal or a richer brioche-style loaf, the key is using quality mayonnaise and a generous seasoning of cracked black pepper.
This simple vegetarian recipe is ideal for a traditional afternoon tea, a quick weekday lunch, or packing into a weekend picnic basket. By trimming the crusts and cutting them into neat quarters, you achieve that elegant tea-room finish. For the best results, ensure your eggs are properly cooled before mashing to keep the filling fresh and firm.
