Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches

I needed to make an "herby" thing to contribute to the annual Madison Herb Society spring tea party.  These sandwiches seemed to be a perfect solution.  1) They contained herbs.  2) They were easy--always a plus.  3) You used eggs and since I have been getting fresh eggs from my daughter's chickens.  This was another reason for these sandwiches to be a good choice. 

This is a picture of "The Girls" and the chicken palace that Mike built for them. 

8 hard cooked eggs, chopped
2/3 cup mayonnaise (light is fine)
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped chives
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

Whole grain bread
Watercress

Combine all ingredients.  Spread on whole grain bread slices.  Spread mayonnaise on an equal number of bread slices.  Top with fresh watercress.  Put together as sandwiches and cut into quarters.
