Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.3333 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 pieces jalapeño peppers
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with water so that it is about an inch above the eggs.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
Step 3
While the eggs cook, finely dice the jalapeño peppers, removing the seeds and membranes for less heat if desired. Chop the green onions into thin slices.
Step 4
When the eggs are finished cooking, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Peel the eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped eggs in a mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, diced jalapeños, chopped green onions, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
Step 7
Gently mix all the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to mash the eggs too much.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or jalapeños for extra spice.
Step 9
Transfer the egg salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika for garnish, if using.
Step 10
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Enjoy on sandwiches, with crackers, or as a side dish!
