Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 piece celery stalk
- 1 piece green onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and add enough water to cover them by about 1 inch.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and allow the eggs to simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the eggs from heat and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5-10 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
Step 4
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped eggs into a medium bowl.
Step 5
Finely chop the celery stalk and green onion. Add them to the bowl with the eggs.
Step 6
Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently until everything is evenly combined.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise if desired.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 9
Sprinkle paprika on top before serving, if desired, for a touch of color and flavor.
Step 10
Serve Nif's Eggstremely Easy Egg Salad on toasted bread, crackers, or lettuce wraps, or enjoy it as it is!
