Egg Salad Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs, hard boiled and peeled
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Start by placing the eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Remove and cool the eggs under cold running water.
  2. Chop the Eggs: Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces to create the base for the salad.
  3. Prepare the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Add salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences.
  4. Mix Ingredients: Add the chopped eggs to the dressing and gently mix until the eggs are evenly coated and the salad reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or chilled as a light salad.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can add finely chopped celery or green onions.
  • Using Dijon mustard adds a nice tangy depth, but yellow mustard can be substituted.
  • Eggs should be fully cooled before chopping to avoid an overly mushy texture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
