Restated from the original video
- 1
Lower the eggs into a pan of boiling water and cook for 9 min. Cool them under cold running water, then peel and slice them.
- 2
Mash the tuna in a bowl with the mayonnaise, capers, anchovy and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3
Lay out the bread and spread each slice thinly with butter right to the edges.
- 4
On four of the slices, lay the egg slices in an even layer, then spread over the tuna mixture and top with watercress.
- 5
Cover with the remaining bread, buttered side down, and press gently so the sandwiches hold together.
- 6
Wrap the sandwiches in a lightly damp cloth and chill for 10 min so they firm up and are easier to cut.
- 7
Cut each sandwich on the diagonal into two triangles and serve cold.
