8 slices white bread
0.5 cup watercress
some parsley (optional)
0.5 cup baby arugula (alternative)

Cookware

1 potato masher or fork

Instructions

Step 1

Hard-boil the eggs, rinsing them in cold water when they are done.

Step 2

While still warm, peel and mash eggs with unsalted butter, using a potato masher or fork.

Step 3

Stir mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and paprika into egg mixture.

Step 4

Spread egg salad onto 4 slices of the white bread.

Step 5

Add watercress and parsley (optional), if using.

Step 6

Top watercress with remaining 4 slices of bread.

Step 7

Remove crusts and slice sandwiches twice, diagonally, to make 4 tea sandwiches from each large sandwich.

Note

If you don't like or can't find watercress, baby arugula (alternative) would work well in this recipe, too, or even baby spinach if you'd like something with a little less of a peppery bite.
