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.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. The sandwiches were still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of watercress, but I thought I'd give these sandwiches a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The watercress added a nice peppery flavor that complemented the eggs and mayonnaise. I'll definitely be making these again.
