Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Celery
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring there's at least 1 inch of water above the eggs.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs are cooking, finely chop the celery and green onions and set them aside.

Step 4

After the eggs are done, carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Once cooled, peel the eggs under running water to make the process easier. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 6

Roughly chop the peeled eggs and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 7

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs. Mix gently until well combined.

Step 8

Fold in the chopped celery and green onions for added crunch and flavor.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If desired, sprinkle paprika on top for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately on bread, crackers, or a bed of lettuce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
