EGG AND WATERCRESS TEA SANDWICHES



Egg and Watercress Tea Sandwiches image

Just like the dainty sandwiches served at Harrods! For a less traditional tea sandwich, you can use pumpernickel, rye or sourdough bread, thinly sliced. For a visual treat, garnish the patter of sandwiches with edible flowers such as pansies or nasturtiums, along with the watercress.

CURRIED EGG SANDWICHES



Curried Egg Sandwiches image

I remember when I was young, my older sister would make these for me at lunch. I think it was all she could make back then! Now all these years later, I love them, as so do my kids. And as a true blue aussie I still use Keen's Curry Powder, it just seems to bring back a little nostalgia when I see the Keens tin !

VICTORIAN WATERCRESS TEA SANDWICHES FOR HIGH TEA AND PICNICS



Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics image

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have included a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then!

Time 5m

Yield 8 Rounds of Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 bunches watercress
softened butter
16 thin slices bread
sea salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Snip the stalks from the watercress and place the leafy ends on kitchen paper to absorb any water. Butter the bread generously, arrange the watercress over 4 slices and season. Top with the remaining bread, cut into triangles or fingers and serve.
  • NB. (Don't discard the watercress stalks; they can be made into a soup. Soften a chopped onion in a pan with butter, add 250ml whole milk and bring to the boil. Add the stalks, cook for 1 minute then liquidise until smooth and foamy.).
