Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks scallions, finely chopped
- 1 piece jalapeño, finely diced
- 0.25 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for about 9-10 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the shells and roughly chop the eggs.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, smoked paprika, hot sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a creamy dressing.
Add the chopped eggs, scallions, jalapeño, celery, and mix gently until well coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more hot sauce for extra heat or smoked paprika for a deeper smoky flavor.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a sandwich filling, with crackers, or on lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.
