Rinse the chives, spin dry, and cut into small rolls. Wash the peppers, cut off the tops, deseed, and trim. Set the peppers to one side and carefully cut four rings about 1.5 cm thick. Cut the remaining peppers into thin strips. Toast the brown bread or roast them in a pan and then brush each with 1 tablespoon of butter. Place five slices of ham on each slice of brown bread. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan, add the pepper rings, and sauté for about 1 minute on each side. Crack the eggs and gently drop one egg into each ring. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, then let the eggs set in the ring over medium heat. Add the remaining pepper strips to the pan, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and sauté while the eggs are cooking. Place two pepper-egg rings on each ham sandwich, arrange the remaining pepper strips around the bread, and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
