- When cool to the touch, peel off the shells and roughly chop the eggs.
- PREPARE EGG SALAD:.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the eggs, chives, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour on the mayonnaise, vinegar, and mustard. Gently fold together.
- PREPARE SANDWICH:.
- Toast the bread. (Note: this is one sandwich in which the bread is commonly de-crusted and cut into special shapes for tea-time, or the prepared sandwich may be cut into triangles.).
- Construct the sandwich. Pile the watercress on a slice of the toasted bread, and dollop the egg salad on top.
