- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from heat and cover it with a lid. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Chop the eggs into small pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the chopped eggs.
Gently fold all ingredients together until well combined and creamy.
Finely chop the chives and mix them into the egg mayo.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Serve immediately on bread, croissants, or as a topping for salads, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
