Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, and cook until hard-boiled. Cool, peel, and chop finely.
- In a bowl, mix the eggs with mayonnaise, mustard, chives, and pickled cucumber. Season gently with salt and pepper.
- Lay three slices of bread side by side to form the base layer.
- Spread half of the egg mixture evenly over the bread.
- Add another layer of bread, press lightly, and spread the remaining egg mixture on top.
- Finish with the last bread layer.
- Mix the cream cheese until smooth and spread a thin layer over the top and sides to hold everything together.
- Chill for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Serving ideas
Slice it like a cake and serve on a board, not plates. It works cold, holds its shape, and turns an everyday egg spread into something that feels planned — good for guests or the next day’s lunch.
