Put the eggs in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 7 minutes. Refresh in cold water.
Once cold, peel the eggs and roughly mash with a fork in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, cress and season with salt and pepper.
Butter the rolls, fill each with a slice of ham and top with a large spoonful of the egg mayonnaise.
