How to Make Asparagus and Egg Salad Sandwiches
- 1). Fill a large saucepan with cold water and bring to a rolling boil. Add the extra large eggs and continue to boil for 9 to 11 minutes. Drain the eggs in a colander and transfer to a bowl of icy water using a slotted spoon to cool.
- 2). Fill a large saute pan with water and bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and boil for 2 to 4 minutes or until tender. Drain the asparagus and plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- 3). Peel the eggs and chop them with a sharp knife. Place them in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, mixing them together with the tines of a fork.
- 4). Chop the asparagus into bite-size pieces. Add the asparagus to the egg and mayonnaise mixture. Mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon, being careful not to crush the asparagus. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
- 5). Spread about a fourth of the sandwich filling onto a slice of bread. Top with watercress and cover with an additional piece of bread. Continue until sandwich filling and bread are used or refrigerate remaining filling.
