Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 medium (finely chopped) celery stalk
- 1 stalk (finely sliced) green onion
- 0.25 teaspoons (to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (to taste) black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them completely with cold water, ensuring the water level is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer gently for 9-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
Step 3
Carefully drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs into a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Step 4
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces or desired consistency. Transfer the chopped eggs into a mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, finely chopped celery, and sliced green onion to the bowl with the eggs.
Step 6
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined and creamy.
Step 8
Serve immediately on bread, in a wrap, over salad greens, or refrigerate for up to 3 days for later use.
