Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices soft white bread (or whole-grain bread)
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs gently for 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
Step 4
When the eggs are finished cooking, transfer them to the ice bath using a slotted spoon. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
Step 5
Gently peel the eggs and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the eggs into small, crumbly pieces.
Step 6
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 7
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread to prevent sogginess.
Step 8
Spoon the egg salad mixture evenly onto 4 slices of buttered bread. Spread it out to the edges for an even layer.
Step 9
Top each with another slice of bread, butter side facing the filling, to create a sandwich.
Step 10
Trim the crusts off each sandwich for a classic tea-time presentation, if desired. Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters to serve.
