Step 1:

How do you make egg and cheese sandwiches? Gather your ingredients. Besides a baguette or loaf, you can use any bread you like or have on hand — it's tasty with rye or whole-grain too. You can leave the sandwiches plain or top them with whatever you like. I had a bit of cucumber and some red caviar on hand.
Step 2:

Hard-boil the eggs ahead of time and let them cool. Peel them and grate on the medium holes of a box grater. Skip the large holes — big pieces tend to fall out of the spread, while medium ones give you a smoother mixture.
Step 3:

Grate the cheese on the medium holes as well. I used a semi-hard cheese; a melting cheese works nicely too. See the notes at the end for how to swap in different cheeses.
Step 4:

Wash the herbs and dry them well. I used dill, but any herb you like or have will do. Trim off the tough stems and finely chop the leaves.
Step 5:

Put the grated eggs, cheese, and chopped herbs in a bowl. Peel and mince the garlic however you like — with a press, a knife, or a grater — and add it to the bowl. Add the mayonnaise, then salt and pepper to taste. Go easy on the salt at first; you can taste the finished spread and adjust.
Step 6:

Stir everything together until smooth.
Step 7:

Cut the bread into thin slices. If you're using a loaf, you can punch out matching rounds with a glass for a neater, prettier look. Toast the bread in a regular or grill pan until crisp. You can add a little oil, but I prefer to toast it dry.
Step 8:

Spread the cheese mixture onto the bread. At this point the sandwiches are basically done, but you can dress them up by adding a topping — slices of smoked sausage, sprats, fresh or pickled cucumber, tomato, or olives.
Step 9:

I garnished mine with fresh cucumber roses, caviar, and herbs.
Step 10:

Serve the sandwiches and enjoy!

How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep them from cracking, start them in cold water and bring to a boil over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then transfer to cold water to cool. The quick temperature change makes them easier to peel.

It's best to make the mayonnaise yourself — tastier and better for you. You'll find some good homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as the dressing instead of mayo, on their own or blended with mayonnaise in whatever ratio you like — it cuts the calories.
