Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices whole grain bread
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the saucepan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let the eggs cool for 5 minutes, then peel and roughly chop them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the chopped eggs to the dressing and gently fold until the eggs are evenly coated.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread if desired.
Lay a lettuce leaf on one slice of bread for each sandwich. Spoon a generous amount of the egg salad mixture on top of the lettuce.
Place another slice of bread on top to finish each sandwich.
Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately.
