Place a pan of water over a high heat and bring to the boil, lower in your eggs and simmer for 8 minutes. Remove into iced water to cool before peeling. Separate the yolks from the whites and then add both into a large mixing bowl.
Using scissors, cut the cress into the same bowl followed by the chives. Using a peeler, grate in your cheddar. Toss in the ham and cornichons, followed by the mayonnaise, mustard and some salt and pepper.
Chop everything through with a pizza cutter, until you have an ‘egg salad’ consistency.
To serve, spoon out onto some freshly toasted bread and top with some of your favorite crisps and a few extra cornichons.
