Ingredients

6 eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise, plus extra, if you like, for spreading
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices whole grain bread, toasted
1 avocado, halved, peeled, seeded and sliced lengthwise
1/2 bunch watercress, stems trimmed

Directions

Cook the eggs 10 minutes in a saucepan of simmering water to cover. Drain, cool under cold running water, and peel. Roughly mash the eggs in a bowl with the mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread 4 slices of toast with mayonnaise, if you like. Arrange about 1/4 of the avocado slices on each. Spread each with 1/4 of the egg salad and arrange watercress sprigs on top. Top each sandwich with another slice of toast and serve.

It has potential...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I'm a little disappointed that it turned out so bland. In fairness, I left out the watercress which may be an essential... ingredient and "make" the dish but I thought, based on other reviews that the egg salad alone was award winning. I love Dijon mustard and put more than double the amount in..... I added salt, pepper and green onions and it was still missing something. A little garlic would have really picked it up but without that I'd cut back on the mayo and double or triple the mustard and lemon juice and add salt and pepper!Read more

Reaaly like it with guilt
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is the second time I use the recipe. It was another success. I enjoyed every single bit of this sandwich with a little... guilt because of the all eggs I used to make this dish. Well, the good this is I do not make this sandwich all the time.Read more

It's a Pleaser
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I was sort of nervous about this recipe because no one in my family had had egg salad recently and some didn't even know if... they liked it. But this recipe went over splendedly. I had to make some changes because my avacado was not ripe yet and I did not have any watercrest. Instead, I served the sandwiches with tomatos, and it was a stunning combination. Really delicious. Also, for four people I made this recipe with 7 eggs instead of 6. I would even go so far as to use 8 next time, so that each person got a two-egg sandwich. Read more

best egg salad ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best egg salad recipe I've ever tasted. Forget the sandwich, I ended up eating the salad straight out of the... bowl! Well, I did try the sandwich, whole wheat bread, opted out on the watercress. Avocado is yummy and the combination with the egg salad is interesting, but next time I'll do without.Read more
