Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the yogurt mixture over the chopped eggs and gently fold to combine.
Add the chopped chives and parsley to the egg mixture, and stir until evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the egg spread to a serving bowl. Optionally, sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
