1
Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let it sit for 12-14 minutes.
2
Cool the Eggs
Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water or run them under cold water to cool for at least 5 minutes.
3
Peel the Eggs
Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shell. Rinse the eggs under cold water to remove any shell fragments.

4
Chop the Eggs
Roughly chop the peeled eggs and place them in a mixing bowl.
5
Combine Ingredients
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper to the chopped eggs. If using, also add chopped celery, red onion, dill, and paprika.
6
Mix Well
Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

7
Serve
Scoop the egg salad onto bread for sandwiches, or serve on a bed of lettuce as a salad. Enjoy!
