1. Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 10-12 minutes, then transfer to ice water.
Peel and chop eggs (or mash slightly for creamier texture).
2. Make the Dreamy Dressing
In a bowl, whisk together mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, relish/honey, paprika, garlic powder, salt & pepper.
3. Mix It All Together
Gently fold in chopped eggs, red onion, celery, dill, and chives.
Taste and adjust seasoning (more salt? More tang? Make it yours!).
4. Assemble the Sandwich
Toast bread lightly (optional but recommended).
Pile egg salad high on one slice, add lettuce/tomato if using, and top with second slice.
Cut diagonally (because it tastes better that way 😉).
