Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-2 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Hard boil the eggs either in the Instant Pot, a steamer, or by boiling them. See post for instructions on each of these methods.
- Peel the eggs and chop or mash them as much as you like. For chunkier egg salad, just do a rough chop. For a smoother, creamier egg salad, mash the hard boiled eggs with a fork in a large bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and dill. Stir to combine then serve on your favorite bread or croissants.
