Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 4 pieces anchovy fillets
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 slices whole grain bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the water reaches a rolling boil, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and let the eggs cook for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Immediately transfer the cooked eggs into a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and set them aside.

Step 4

In a small food processor or blender, combine the anchovy fillets, lemon juice, capers, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth to create the anchovy spread.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, chop the peeled eggs into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Add the mayonnaise, anchovy spread, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Gently fold everything together until evenly combined.

Step 7

Taste the egg salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Step 8

Serve the egg salad on its own, spooned onto slices of whole grain bread for sandwiches, or with crackers as a dip.
