Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 4 slices Bacon
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 stalks Celery
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
While the eggs are simmering, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, flipping occasionally. Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off the excess grease. When cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Once the eggs are done cooking, remove them from the saucepan and place them into a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small cubes. Transfer the chopped eggs to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the celery and green onions, then add them to the bowl with the eggs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Add the salt and black pepper, and mix until combined.
Pour the dressing over the egg mixture. Add the crumbled bacon and gently stir until everything is well coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. For an extra touch, sprinkle the top with paprika before serving.
Serve immediately on bread, crackers, or greens, or refrigerate until ready to use. Best enjoyed within 2 days.
