Method

  1. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them finely using an egg slicer or a knife. Transfer the chopped eggs to a bowl.
  2. Add salt, pepper, olive oil, and vinegar to the bowl. Stir with a spoon to combine.
  3. Add the mayonnaise and mix well.
  4. Finely chop the parsley, add it to the bowl, and stir to incorporate.
  5. Spread the softened butter evenly over the baguettes. Place the baguettes in a sandwich press or panini grill for 2-3 minutes, until warm and slightly crisp.
  6. Remove the baguettes from the press. Using a serrated knife, cut each baguette in half crosswise, then open them up.
  7. Divide the rocket and the egg salad between the baguettes. Serve immediately.

💡 Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or chopped chives to the egg salad.
  • If you don't have a sandwich press, you can toast the baguettes in a hot skillet with a little butter.
  • Make the egg salad ahead of time and keep it refrigerated for up to 2 days.
