It is necessary
- - 200 g of smoked chicken breast (can be replaced with ham, the taste will become even more piquant);
- - 100 g of hard cheese;
- - 1 fresh tomato (it is better to take a slightly hard one so that it does not turn into porridge when slicing);
- - 3 boiled eggs;
- - 160 g of mayonnaise;
- - salt;
- - onion feathers or parsley leaves for decoration.

Step 2
Cut the tomato into small cubes and let the juice drain from the cutting board. Spread the tomato cubes on top of the cheese in an even layer, season with salt, coat with mayonnaise. Sprinkle the tomatoes with chopped green onion feathers to add spice and flavor.
Step 3
Cut into cubes or take apart the smoked chicken leg and breast into fibers. You can replace it with julienned ham. Draw a mayonnaise mesh on top of the layer.
Step 4
Grate boiled eggs on the meat through a fine grater, smooth with a fork, grease with mayonnaise. Add a little salt if desired. If you don’t want to squeeze out a lot of mayonnaise, it’s easier to paint the grate with a thin layer for soaking.
