Ingredient Notes
- White bread: Use a soft, fluffy white bread for a delicate bite.
- Eggs: Any type of eggs you have can hardboil for this recipe.
- Mustard: Dijon mustard will suit best for a subtle flavor enhancement.
- Mayonnaise: Japanese mayo will use for its distinct taste, but regular mayo is fine too.
- Sea salt: Use sea salt flakes for seasoning.
- Italian parsley: Flat Italian parsley is preferred over curly for garnish.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Boil the eggs until they are hardboiled, then peel and chop them. Don't chop them too finely, to avoid mushy egg salad.
- Bread Circles: You will need 12 bread circles to make 6 tea sandwiches. If the bread is frozen, you'll get cleaner cuts.
- Mix Filling: Combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, making sure the eggs are evenly coated. Add Dijon mustard and a pinch of sea salt to taste.
- Cut the Bread: Using a cookie cutter, cut out two circles from each slice of white bread. Choose a size that allows two circles per slice.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the egg salad onto a bread circle and top with another bread circle. Optionally, garnish with Italian parsley.
