Simple Homemade Quick & Easy Egg and Lettuce Sandwiches

Start by boiling the eggs. Place them in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for about 9-12 minutes. Once done, peel and chop the eggs.

Rinse the lettuce in cold water and pat dry. Tear it into small pieces.

In a bowl, combine the chopped eggs and lettuce. Add mayonnaise, mustard (if using), salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Spread butter on one side of each bread slice, then spread the egg and lettuce mixture on half of the slices.

Cover with the remaining slices, butter side down, pressing gently.

Cut each sandwich into your preferred shape, either halves, quarters or triangles.

Serve immediately or wrap in cling film for a later meal.
