Club Sandwiches

Ingredients Club Sandwich

• 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh tarragon
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
• 4 hardboiled eggs, finely chopped
• 1 loaf thin-sliced white bread
• lettuce leaves
• tomatoes, sliced

Ingredients Mayonnaise

• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tsp mustard
• pinch of salt
• lemon juice from 1 or 2 lemons
• 250ml sunflower oil (or grapeseed or similar lightly flavoured oil)
• pepper and more salt

Method Club Sandwich

Mix mayonnaise, herbs and eggs together. Layer up double-decker sandwiches in the following order: egg mayonnaise, lettuce, egg mayonnaise, bread, egg mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, bread. Slice crusts off sandwiches and cut in half.

Method Mayonnaise

Whisk egg yolks with mustard, salt and the juice from half a lemon. Continue to whisk while adding the oil drop by drop until the mixture forms an emulsion and starts to look like mayonnaise. At this stage you can add the oil in a thin stream while continuing to whisk. Towards the end start adding more lemon juice to taste and extra salt and pepper as needed. The finished mayonnaise should be quite thick so if necessary add more oil. (The oil will thicken it and the lemon juice will thin it.)
