A good egg mayo is something not to be overlooked. Try Dan Doherty’s recipe piled on toast – with crushed salt and vinegar crisps on top – as a quick treat for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients
- 2 medium free-range eggs
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- Pinch snipped fresh chives, plus extra to garnish
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced, plus extra to garnish
- Olive oil
- 2 sourdough bread slices
Method
- Bring a medium pan of water to the boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the eggs and simmer for 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of iced water to cool. Peel, quarter, then put the eggs in a mixing bowl. The yolks should be slightly soft.
- Add the mayo, mustard, chives and spring onion. Season and mix (don’t worry if the eggs break up).
- Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. Drizzle some olive oil on a plate, then lightly dab each slice of bread in the oil on both sides. Season. When the pan is hot, char the bread on both sides.
- Spoon the egg mayo over the toasts and finish with a good twist of black pepper and extra chopped chives and spring onion. If you want to try my crisp topping, just take a handful of crisps, hold them over a plate of egg mayo on toast and crush them, letting them fall on top of the egg.
