Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place 6 large eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water until the water level is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
Step 3
Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water. Once the eggs are done cooking, transfer them to the ice bath immediately and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Gently crack the eggs and peel off the shells. Rinse them under cold water to remove any remaining shell fragments.
Step 5
Chop the peeled eggs into small chunks and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh chives, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoons of paprika (if using) to the bowl with the chopped eggs.
Step 7
Gently stir the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
Step 8
Use the egg sandwich filling immediately or cover and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve it between slices of bread, on a croissant, or in a wrap.
