Feast Your Eyes
First up, let’s take a moment to appreciate this glorious plate of egg salad. Just look at it! It’s like a party on a slice of bread!
Ingredients - What You’ll Need
To create this magical spread, gather the following ingredients. Don’t worry; you don’t need a magician’s hat to conjure them!
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (more if you like it creamy)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or a teaspoon dried if you’re in a pinch)
- 1/4 cup celery, finely diced (for that crunch-factor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: A sprinkle of paprika (because who doesn’t like a little pizzazz?)
Instructions - Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that you’re all set with the ingredients, let’s whip up some egg salad magic!
- First, boil those eggs! Place them in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a rolling boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes. After that, plunge them into an ice bath to cool down. We want them chilled and ready for action!
- Once cooled, peel those eggs like it’s nobody’s business. It’s like unwrapping a present every time! Chop them into bite-sized bits—don’t go overboard and turn them into egg mush.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your chopped eggs with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, and diced celery. Give it a good mix, because every ingredient deserves a chance to shine!
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Taste your masterpiece! If it needs a little more magic, add a splash more mayo or mustard—find that perfect balance!
- Optional: Sprinkle a bit of paprika on top for that picture-perfect finish. You know what they say, we eat with our eyes first!
- Serve this egg salad atop a slice of your favorite bread, or scoop it up with some crackers. It’s egg-squisite!
And there you have it folks; a delicious egg salad that’ll make your taste buds do the happy dance! Enjoy your creation, and remember: life is too short for boring lunches!
