Ingredients
- 8 large egg
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup celery chopped finely, 1/3 cup is about 1/3 of a stalk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 lices bread
- lettuce optional, but adds great crunch, we prefer large leaves when we have it
Instructions
- Place eggs in a medium size pan and cover with water. Water should be about an inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, then cover the pot with a lid and remove completely from the heat source. Leave the pot covered for 20 minutes while you make the ice bath in the next step.
- In a medium sized bowl, add ice and water mix to make a cold ice bath. Once the eggs have sat for 20 minutes drain and rinse the eggs with cold water, then add them to the ice bath. Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for 5 minutes.
- Peel eggs, removing any shells. Add five of the peeled eggs to a medium bowl and mash them with a fork.
- Add mayonnaise, celery, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt and pepper to the mashed eggs. Mix until just combined. Slice the remaining three eggs into larger chunks. Fold the egg chunks into the mashed eggs. Serve and enjoy!
