Instructions
For the hard-boiled eggs: Bring some water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Use a spoon to gently add the eggs to the boiling water, then lower the heat slightly. Allow the eggs to boil for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of cold water with 5 or 6 ice cubes. When the eggs are ready, transfer them to the ice water and allow them to stand for 10 minutes. Peel and use immediately or refrigerate for up to 7 days.
Prepare the mustard spread: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir together well. Set aside. *Can be made ahead and refrigerated. Leftover spread can also be refrigerated for 3-4 days.
To prepare the sandwiches: Toast the bread slices, then remove some or all of the crusts (optional). Lightly butter the slices if you like, then spoon a dollop of the mustard spread on top. Use a spoon to spread it out a bit. Place a boiled egg quarter on top of the mustard spread. Garnish with paprika, top with additional sliced chives or green onion and sprinkle with a bit of flaky salt.
