Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, hard boiled
- 4 leaves butter lettuce salad
- 0.25 cup freshly made mayonnaise
- Pinch paprika
- Fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Peel the shells from the eggs and rinse them. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Wash and dry a few lettuce leaves and arrange in a serving dish. Extend the mayonnaise with a few drops of cold water to make the mayonnaise just thin enough to coat the egg halves without being runny. Taste the sauce and modify the seasoning to taste if necessary.
- Place the eggs on top of the lettuce, and coat the top of the egg with the extended mayonnaise. Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with a few chopped chives.
