Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the eggs are sitting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth.
Step 5
Add the chopped eggs, crumbled bacon, thinly sliced green onions, and chopped parsley to the bowl. Gently fold everything together until the eggs are evenly coated in the dressing.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the horseradish and mustard if you prefer a bolder flavor.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the egg salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve the egg salad chilled on its own, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers and fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
