Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with water, making sure there is about 1 inch of water above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs under running water to remove the shells easily.
Roughly chop the peeled eggs and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the dressing to the chopped eggs and mix gently until the eggs are coated. Be careful not to mash the eggs too much to maintain some texture.
Fold in the finely chopped celery and fresh parsley, if using, to add crunch and freshness.
Serve the egg salad immediately as a sandwich filling with your favorite bread, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
