Preparation

  3. Peel the eggs gently under running water to remove the shells without damaging the whites.
  4. Chop the peeled eggs into small pieces using a sharp knife or an egg slicer.
  5. Mix in a bowl with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  6. Add chopped celery and green onions for crunch and freshness.
  7. Serve on toasted bread or in lettuce wraps for a fresh twist!
