Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water until there is about 1 inch of water above the eggs.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes to achieve a hard-boiled texture.
After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Gently peel the eggs under running water to remove the shells, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Chop the eggs into small chunks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
Gently mix the ingredients until the eggs are coated evenly with the mayonnaise mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Great for sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or as a side salad.
