Instructions
1. Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water.
Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover for 10 minutes.
Transfer to cold water, peel, and chop finely.
Tip: Add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water for easier peeling.
2. Prepare the Egg Salad
In a bowl, combine chopped eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, chives, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Mix until creamy and well combined.
Tip: Mash the eggs slightly for a smoother texture.

Toast bread slices if desired.
Spread a generous layer of egg salad on a slice of bread.
Add lettuce, tomato, or extra chives if using.
Top with another slice of bread.
