Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 slices of whole grain bread

Lettuce leaves (optional)

Sliced tomatoes (optional)

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for about 12 minutes.

    Cool the Eggs: After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool for about 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.

      Prepare the Filling: Once cooled, peel the eggs under running water to help remove the shells easily. In a mixing bowl, roughly chop the eggs with a knife or fork.

        Mix Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the chopped eggs. Stir until combined and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

          Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the whole grain bread slices if desired. Spread a generous amount of the egg salad mixture onto two slices of bread. Top with lettuce and sliced tomatoes if using, then place the other slices of bread on top.

            Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, or wrap them up for a delicious lunch on the go!
