Method
- Step 1
- Bring a small pot of water, 1 tbsp (15 mL) white vinegar and a pinch of salt to a simmer over medium high heat. Gently add eggs and cook at a soft boil for 12 minutes. Drain the eggs, run under cold water and let cool.
- Step 2
- Meanwhile, bring another small pot of salted water to a boil, add asparagus and blanch for 1-2 minutes. Drain asparagus and set in an ice water bath to stop cooking; once cooled, remove from water and pat dry.
- Step 3
- Peel eggs, then mash with a fork to desired texture in medium-sized bowl. Add mayonnaise, green onions, parsley, shallot, mustard, and paprika; mix to combine and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4
- Lay out the slices of bread on a clean work surface, then butter slices on one side. Divide half the egg salad filling between three slices of bread, top with a layer of asparagus, cover with remaining egg salad and top with the remaining slices of buttered bread. Wrap and refrigerate until needed.
- Step 5
- To serve, trim crusts from the sandwiches and slice into quarters.
