Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp finely diced red onion

Instructions:

  1. Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then immediately remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process, then peel the shells.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until the mixture is silky and homogenous.
  4. Roughly chop the chilled eggs and fold them into the dressing along with the red onion and chives. Mix gently until evenly coated while maintaining chunky texture.
