Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces bread slices
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Start by boiling the eggs: Place the 4 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by at least an inch.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid and remove it from the heat.
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes to fully cook.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them rapidly for about 5 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs, then chop them into small pieces.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped eggs with 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of chopped chives and season the mixture with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Spread butter lightly on one side of each of the 8 bread slices.
Spoon the egg mayo mixture evenly onto the buttered side of 4 bread slices.
Top each with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, to make sandwiches.
For an optional step, toast the sandwiches on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately for best taste.
