Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches
  1. Start by placing the eggs in a pot and covering them with water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes. Peel and chop the eggs coarsely.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and sea salt. Mix gently until well incorporated and creamy but not mushy.
  3. Lay the white bread flat on a cutting board. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles from the bread slices, discarding the crusts.
  4. Assemble the sandwiches by placing one bread circle on a platter, spooning egg salad onto it, topping with another circle, and pressing gently. Repeat until all sandwiches are assembled.
  5. Finely chop parsley and sprinkle over sandwiches. Serve at room temperature.
