Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

3 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

8 slices of whole-grain bread

2 tablespoons butter, softened (for toasting)

Optional: Lettuce or arugula for added crunch

Instructions
 

Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 9-12 minutes. Once done, immerse the eggs in cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel and chop the eggs once cooled.

    Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

      Prep the cucumber: Thinly slice the cucumber and sprinkle with salt. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to draw out moisture. You can pat them dry with a paper towel if necessary to prevent sogginess in the sandwich.

        Toast the bread: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread, butter-side down, in the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

          Assemble the sandwiches: Take four slices of toasted bread and spread an equal amount of the egg mixture on each. Layer on the cucumber slices, and add lettuce or arugula if desired. Top with the remaining slices of toasted bread.

            Serve: Cut the sandwiches into halves or quarters for easy handling and serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of chips or a fresh salad!
