Egg and Cress Sandwiches

Egg and Cress sandwiches are a throw back to my childhood days.  Cress is a popular item in the UK, both in sandwiches and as a garnish, and is used as a microgreen, not as a full grown plant.  Think how we use parsley as a garnish, they use cress.  It's tastes a cross between watercress and mustard.

I had a hankering for egg and cress sandwiches the other day, so decided to make them with what I had on hand.  I rarely eat bread anymore, so this was a treat for us.

All you need for the filling is hard boiled eggs, cress or microgreens and mayo, plus any seasonings you want to add in, like salt and pepper.

These are the micro greens I use, as they are grown in Canada.  It was handy I got one with 30% off.  They are usually between $4 to $5 a package.  I used 3/4 of a package probably, as I had taken some out of this package for something else.

Thought it was funny when it said "IT MAY CONTAIN MUSTARD," when it says Kick'n Mustard on the front of the package??  Notice how everything is in both English and French here in Canada?

Not sure which exactly micro green plants these are but they taste good.

So all I do is mash up the eggs, add the mayo and micro greens and spoon some in between a roll or a couple slices of bread.  It's so good and the micro green bulk out the filling so it goes further.

Do you like egg and cress sandwiches?  Have you heard of them before?  What's your go too sandwich?
