Method
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and cook the eggs for 11 minutes then place straight in a bowl of iced water. When eggs have cooled, peel them.
Assemble egg sandwiches by layering the cheese, tomato, lettuce, and ham on one half and topping with the other half of the egg. Secure with a toothpick or skewer and sprinkle sesame seeds.
Easy Swap
Use your choice of sandwich filling - tuna or salami are also favoured classics.
Top Tips
Cook your eggs from room temperature to avoid them cracking when they go into the boiling water.
