Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 4 slices Bacon
• 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 stalks Celery
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the eggs are simmering, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, flipping occasionally. Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off the excess grease. When cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 3

Once the eggs are done cooking, remove them from the saucepan and place them into a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.

Step 4

Peel the eggs and chop them into small cubes. Transfer the chopped eggs to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Dice the celery and green onions, then add them to the bowl with the eggs.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Add the salt and black pepper, and mix until combined.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the egg mixture. Add the crumbled bacon and gently stir until everything is well coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. For an extra touch, sprinkle the top with paprika before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately on bread, crackers, or greens, or refrigerate until ready to use. Best enjoyed within 2 days.
