Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for 10 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the saucepan and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs and set them aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the peeled eggs with a fork until they are broken into small crumbles.
Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is creamy.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This helps to prevent the filling from making the bread soggy.
Spoon and spread the egg and cream cheese mixture evenly over six slices of the buttered bread.
Top with the remaining six slices of bread, buttered side down, to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off each sandwich for a neat presentation. Then, cut each sandwich into four triangles or squares, as preferred.
Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately or cover them with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
