Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Peel and chop the eggs into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and toast the buttered side of the bread until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the sandwiches: Lay a piece of toasted bread (toasted side up) on a plate. Add a layer of lettuce, sliced tomato, two strips of crispy bacon, and a generous scoop of egg salad. Top with another slice of toasted bread (toasted side down).
Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional sandwiches.
