Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

...then slices of hard-boiled egg.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 4 min.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 4 min.

Cover with a second slice of bread, butter side outwards.

Prepare all the sandwiches like this and arrange on a baking sheet.

Remarks

You can use different breads, such as seeded or wholemeal, rather than ordinary white sliced bread, which is often rather tasteless. If the bread you are using has crusts, trim these off with a serrated knife.

Keeping: Should be eaten immediately, once cooked, but freezes well uncooked..
