Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1 stalk green onion, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces. Place the chopped eggs in a mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, green onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs. Mix everything together until well combined.
Rinse the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Spoon the egg salad mixture evenly into the lettuce leaves, creating 'boats'.
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of each 'boat' for a pop of color and added flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Egg Salad Boats!
