Restated from the original video

  1. 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. 2

    Mash the tuna in a bowl with the mayonnaise, capers, anchovy and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Lay out the bread and spread each slice thinly with butter right to the edges.

  4. 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. 5

    Cover with the remaining bread, buttered side down, and press gently so the sandwiches hold together.

  6. 6

    Wrap the sandwiches in a lightly damp cloth and chill for 10 min so they firm up and are easier to cut.

  7. 7

    Cut each sandwich on the diagonal into two triangles and serve cold.
