Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water starts boiling, let the eggs cook for 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
Remove the eggs from heat and immediately transfer them to a bowl of cold water or ice water. Let them cool for a few minutes.
While the eggs cool, prepare the other ingredients. Slice the tomato into thin rounds, rinse the lettuce leaves, and set them aside.
Peel the cooled eggs and slice them into even rounds using a knife or egg slicer.
Toast the bread slices (optional) and spread a thin layer of butter (if using) on one side of each slice.
On one slice of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly. Place the lettuce leaves on top of the mayonnaise.
Layer the sliced eggs over the lettuce. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the eggs for extra flavor.
Add the tomato slices on top of the eggs, then spread the remaining mayonnaise on the other slice of bread.
Place the second slice of bread atop the tomato, mayonnaise side down, to form the sandwich.
Gently press the sandwich together and, if desired, cut it in half diagonally. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade sliced egg sandwich!
