Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook the eggs for 9 to 10 minutes for firm yolks, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  4. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces, placing them in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Finely dice the celery and chop any additional herbs like chives or parsley if desired.
  6. Add the diced celery, mustard, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
  7. Gently fold the ingredients together until the eggs are evenly coated with the dressing.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or mustard as needed.
  9. Serve immediately on bread, crackers, or lettuce leaves, or refrigerate until ready to eat.
