2 tablespoons snipped chives or finely chopped spring onion tops

75 g (3 oz) margarine or butter, softened

1 tablespoon lemon juice

8 thin slices bread, crusts removed
2 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
2 tablespoons snipped chives or finely chopped spring onion tops
freshly ground black pepper

method
1. Mash the sardines until smooth, then mix in the chopped eggs, chives and plenty of pepper.
2. Using a wooden spoon, beat the margarine in a separate bowl until light and creamy, then beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice and paprika.
3. Spread the bread slices on 1 side with the lemon-flavoured margarine. Turn 4 of the slices over, and spread evenly with the sardine mixture. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, margarine side facing upwards.
4. Set a large frying-pan over fairly high heat and leave it for about 30 seconds to heat through. Put the sardine sandwiches into the pan and press them down gently with a fish slice.
5. Fry the sandwiches for about 3 minutes until golden brown, then carefully turn them over, using a fish slice, and cook for a further 3 minutes until golden brown. Serve at once.
