Step-by-Step Instructions for Irish Egg Salad Sandwiches
- Begin by halving the Roma tomatoes and scooping out their seeds to prevent a soggy filling. Dice the remaining tomato flesh into ½ cm pieces and set aside.
- Slice the green onions thinly, using only the white parts for optimal texture and a milder flavor. Add them to the diced tomatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Finely shred the butter lettuce and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes and onions. Meanwhile, mash the hard-boiled eggs in a separate bowl.
- In the bowl with the mashed eggs, incorporate the diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and shredded lettuce. Mix gently until everything is well combined. Add mayonnaise to bind the mixture.
- Take two slices of bread and butter the inner surfaces generously.
- Spread the egg salad filling evenly on one buttered side of each pair of bread slices.
- Using a sharp knife, cut off the crusts from each sandwich to create neat edges. Then, slice each sandwich into quarters.
- Arrange the quartered sandwiches on a platter, optionally serving them alongside crisps for added crunch.

Notes
Serve sandwiches as soon as possible for maximum flavor and texture, as they taste best right after preparation.
