Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Celery
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring there's at least 1 inch of water above the eggs.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes.
Step 3
While the eggs are cooking, finely chop the celery and green onions and set them aside.
Step 4
After the eggs are done, carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Once cooled, peel the eggs under running water to make the process easier. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 6
Roughly chop the peeled eggs and place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 7
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs. Mix gently until well combined.
Step 8
Fold in the chopped celery and green onions for added crunch and flavor.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If desired, sprinkle paprika on top for garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately on bread, crackers, or a bed of lettuce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
