Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Pickle relish (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Green onion (optional, finely chopped)
• 4 servings Bread, crackers, or lettuce leaves (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and fill with water until the eggs are covered by about 1 inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.

Step 3

Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes. This makes peeling easier and stops the cooking process.

Step 4

Once cool, peel the eggs and roughly chop them into small pieces.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle relish (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Step 6

Add the chopped eggs to the bowl and gently fold everything together until the eggs are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 8

If using green onion, stir it in or sprinkle it on top for a bit of freshness. Garnish with paprika for a pop of color (optional).

Step 9

Serve immediately on bread, crackers, or atop lettuce leaves – whatever you have on hand! The egg salad can also be covered and chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
