Egg salad boats

Serves:

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 3 tbsp (60ml) good quality mayonnaise
• 2 tsp seeded mustard
• 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
• juice and zest of one lemon
• sourdough bread rolls or a baguette

Method

Arrange eggs in a single layer in a medium pot and cover with cold water.

Bring to the boil and then remove from heat.

Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.

Drain, then cover eggs with cold water, swish them around and then drain, repeating twice.

Set aside to chill while you make the mayonnaise mixture.

To do this, simply combine remaining ingredients and check for seasoning.

Hollow out the rolls or baguette, removing most of the bread interior (reserve for breadcrumbs).

Peel the eggs and roughly chop.

Gently stir through the mayonnaise mixture and then spoon into the rolls.

Serve as is or slice into pieces before serving on a platter.
