- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water until there is about 1 inch of water above the eggs.
Step 2
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Step 3
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes to achieve a hard-boiled texture.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Step 5
Gently peel the eggs under running water to remove the shells, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 6
Chop the eggs into small chunks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 7
Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
Step 8
Gently mix the ingredients until the eggs are coated evenly with the mayonnaise mixture.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 10
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Great for sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or as a side salad.
