Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard or Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • 1 stalk celery finely diced

Instructions

  • Place the eggs in a large saucepan and pour over enough cold water to cover the eggs by about 1/2-inch. Set the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Cover the pan with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand covered for 15 minutes.
  • Drain and transfer the eggs to a large bowl of ice water. Let the eggs sit in the ice water for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the eggs from the ice water. Refrigerate the eggs for at least 15 minutes.
  • Peel and halve the eggs lengthwise. Transfer the yolks to a bowl. Chop the whites into small pieces and set aside.
  • Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Fold in the chopped egg whites, green onion, and celery. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Serve the egg salad as a sandwich, wrap, stuffed into tomatoes or bell peppers, or spooned over a bed of lettuce.
