Boots Egg Mayo & Cress Sandwich Filling
What it is
This is a pre-made sandwich filling featuring a creamy blend of mashed hard-boiled eggs and mayonnaise, seasoned and mixed with fresh cress. The cress adds a peppery, slightly bitter note that cuts through the richness of the egg and mayonnaise. It is typically sold chilled in a convenient tub, ready to be used as a spread or filling.

To use, simply open the container and scoop the desired amount onto your chosen bread, wrap, or salad base. It can be spread directly from the tub. For sandwiches, it pairs well with lettuce and tomato. You can also dollop it onto a bed of mixed greens for a simple salad or use it as a filling for pita bread or tortillas. Ensure it is kept chilled until ready to serve.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain egg salad, the addition of cress provides a distinct peppery flavor and a touch of freshness. The mayonnaise base offers a smooth, creamy texture that is different from other sandwich fillings like tuna salad or chicken salad.
