Instructions

Make hard-boiled eggs. Squeeze lemon juice into a bowl and whisk in mayonnaise to get a smooth creamy mixture.
Trim the crusts off each slice of bread. Spread mayonnaise evenly over 1 side of each bread slice. In order, lay 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese over the mayonnaise side of 1 slice. Place another slice with mayonnaise side-up. Add eggs, salt, and lettuce. Top with another slice of bread, this time mayo side-down. Compress the sandwich lightly. Serve on a platter, either whole or cut in half or fours.

Notes

Although ham and cheese are far and away the most popular versions, other interesting combos of three are often available. Some suggestions are combinations of Jamon, turkey, cheddar cheese, Roquefort cheese, roasted red peppers, olive, cream cheese, and avocado.
These sandwiches always have the crusts removed and include three slices of soft white bread.
