Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 5
Add the chopped eggs to the dressing and gently fold until the eggs are evenly coated.
Step 6
Toast the slices of whole grain bread if desired.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Place another slice of bread on top to finish each sandwich.
Step 9
Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately.
