How to Make Egg Salad Sandwich With Avocado And Watercress

  1. Place 4 large eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for exactly 10 minutes.
  3. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
  4. Roughly chop the peeled eggs and place them in a medium bowl.
  5. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and the juice of 1/2 lemon to the bowl with the eggs.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently mash the mixture with a fork until desired consistency is reached.
  7. While preparing the egg salad, toast 4 slices of your favorite bread to your desired level of crispness.
  8. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each slice of toast (optional).
  9. Slice 1 ripe avocado into 8 thin slices and arrange 2 slices on each piece of toast.
  10. Top the avocado with 1/4 of the egg salad mixture.
  11. Arrange a small handful of fresh watercress sprigs on top of the egg salad.
  12. Top with the remaining toast slices to complete the sandwiches.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
