Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 medium celery stalk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with water, ensuring the eggs are submerged by at least 1 inch of water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, finely chop the celery stalk, fresh chives, and parsley. Set them aside.
Once the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5-10 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
Peel the eggs and place them into a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to roughly mash them to your desired consistency (chunky or finely mashed).
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped celery, chives, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
Gently mix everything together until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve your Magical Egg Salad chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy on bread, in a wrap, atop crackers, or in lettuce cups.
