Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Once the eggs are cooked, immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and roughly chop them into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sriracha, red chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the chopped eggs, finely sliced green onions, and chopped parsley to the bowl. Gently mix with a spatula until the egg mixture is evenly coated in the spicy dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or sriracha for additional heat.
Optional: Lightly toast the bread slices and spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice for added flavor.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous amount of the spicy egg salad onto four slices of bread. Top each with another slice of bread to form sandwiches.
Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately. Pair with chips, a light salad, or enjoy on its own!
