2 t (10 ml) finely chopped parsley
½ t (2.5 ml) finely grated lemon zest
1 t (5 ml) Ina Paarman’s Chilli & Garlic Seasoning

Method
Place the eggs in a saucepan with deep cold water. Bring to the boil for 2 minutes.
Remove pot from the heat, cover with a lid and leave the eggs to stand in the hot water for 10 minutes.
Transfer them to a bowl of cold water. Crack the shells immediately. Leave for 5 minutes and then peel eggs.
In a mixing bowl, mash the eggs with a fork. Add the butter, mayo, parsley, lemon zest and Chilli & Garlic Seasoning. Mash until smooth.
Taste for seasoning.
Spread this mixture generously over 5 of the bread slices (no need to butter). Top with remaining slices and press down firmly.
Shave off the crusts with a serrated knife.
Cut sandwiches into neat triangles.
