Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water level is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for 10 minutes.
Step 3
After cooking, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Step 4
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 6
Taste the egg salad and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Step 7
Cut the pita breads in half, forming pockets. Gently open each pocket without tearing.
Step 8
Place a lettuce leaf inside each pita half to create a base layer.
Step 9
Spoon the egg salad mixture into each pita half, dividing it evenly among the four pockets.
Step 10
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
