Simple Egg Sandwiches with Crisps

Simple? Do you really think a food blogger would simply be able to make an egg sandwich? Oh, no, no, no. At the very least she'd bake the bread, make the mayonnaise and rustle up a batch of homemade crisps (potato chips). If it was somehow possible, I think she'd go ahead and lay the eggs too...



You might think she would have learned her lesson last time. Guess how many hours and how many eggs were wasted during Sam's vain attempts at making mayonnaise? Guess how many tears were shed? Guess how big the blister on her hand from all the whisking is? Guess how few minutes it then took Fred, once Pasta King, now Mayonnaise Master, to show her how quickly and successfully it can be done.



Recipe for a simply perfect egg sandwich

You will need:
Freshly baked, white crusty bread, slightly warm.
Almost-Hard Boiled eggs, still slightly warm too.
Preferably, Mustard Cress. In CA Daikon Cress has to suffice.
Mayonnaise.
Plain Salted crisps.[US potato chips]
Butter.
Salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Method:
Thinly spread two slices of bread with some butter. In a bowl, use a fork to mash the warm, almost-hard boiled eggs with plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix in mayonnaise until desired consistency is reached. Thickly spread the egg mayonnaise mixture onto the buttered bread and sprinkle with the cress. Serve with crisps and be careful not trip and fall in your rush to eat such a delicious lunch. You might end up with egg on your face.



PS. Thanks to everyone for the bread making tips last week. My skills as a breadmaker have improved three fold since I bought some fresh yeast and took on some of your other suggestions.
