Ingredients
  • 2 Eggs
  • 4 Bread slices (small, like sandwich thins or mini croissants)
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Pinch Salt
  • Pinch Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Optional: Chives, finely chopped
  • To taste Optional: Sriracha sauce

Boiling the Eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let sit for 8 minutes. This will give you perfectly hard-boiled eggs.

Cooling and Peeling

After 8 minutes, drain the hot water and immediately run cold water over the eggs until they are cool enough to handle. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel away the shells.

Preparing the Egg Mixture

In a small bowl, mash the boiled eggs with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. If using, stir in the chopped chives and/or Sriracha sauce.

Assembling the Sandwiches

Spread the egg mixture evenly onto the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices to create mini sandwiches. Serve immediately.

FAQ

  • Can I use pre-cooked hard-boiled eggs?

    Yes, absolutely! This will save you even more time. Just make sure they are fresh and haven't been sitting in the refrigerator for too long.
  • What other ingredients can I add to the egg mixture?

    Feel free to customize the egg mixture to your liking! Consider adding chopped celery, red onion, dill, or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Can I make these ahead of time?

    The egg mixture can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Assemble the sandwiches just before serving to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
