Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 piece large egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.5 piece celery stalk, finely diced
- 1 piece scallion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 2 piece bread slices or crackers (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare the other ingredients: chop the dill, dice the celery, and slice the scallion.
After 9 minutes, drain the hot water from the saucepan and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let the eggs cool for 5 minutes to make peeling easier.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, celery, scallion, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all the ingredients are well combined, being careful not to mash the eggs completely.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Transfer the egg salad to a serving bowl or spread it onto bread slices or crackers. If desired, sprinkle with a pinch of paprika for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Unique Egg Salad for One!
