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.

A better top tip and saves electricity.
For a hard-boiled egg – place eggs in cold water, bring to boil. turn off heat, leave for 5 minutes and then place in cold water.
Try it. Works for me every time.

Easy peasy. Kids loved them. Swapped around fillings as all busy Great Grandma’s do.
