🥘Ingredients

Eggs

6 large eggs

For the Dressing

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
salt and pepper to taste

For Garnish

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill

👨‍🍳Directions

1Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
2Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat.
3Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and let eggs simmer for 9 minutes.
4This will give the eggs a firm texture and a slight green ring around the yolk, which is a sign of doneness.
5Remove from heat and let eggs cool in the saucepan for 10 minutes.
6After 10 minutes, drain the hot water from the saucepan and run cold water over the eggs to cool them down quickly.
7Let them sit in the cold water for an additional 5 minutes, then peel the eggs carefully, ensuring the shells come off easily and the eggs remain intact.
8Chop the eggs into small pieces using a fork, ensuring the pieces are uniform in size and the eggs are well-chopped.
9In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chives, salt, and pepper.
10Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the dressing is smooth.
11Add the chopped eggs to the bowl and gently fold them into the dressing, ensuring the eggs are evenly coated and well-mixed.
12Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
13Place the egg salad in a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and dill.
14Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
15The egg salad should be chilled and creamy, with a tangy flavor from the lemon juice and a slight crunch from the chives.
