📝Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, place eggs and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Once boiling, remove from heat and let the eggs sit in hot water for 10-12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool.

  3. 3

    Peel the eggs and chop them roughly. In a bowl, combine chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Butter one side of each bread slice. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Toast until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Remove the bread from the skillet and let cool slightly. On the non-buttered side of two slices, evenly spread the egg mixture.

  6. 6

    Top with tomato slices and lettuce leaves. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

  7. 7

    Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
