Bring a pot of water to a boil, deep enough to cover the eggs by about 2 cm.
StovePot
2
Gently lower the eggs into it with a spoon.
3
Turn down the heat slightly and simmer 10 minutes.
⚙ SimmeringStove
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
4
Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes, and peel from the wide end.
Ice bath
💡Cold water right after cooking stops the cooking and separates the membrane from the white: peeling is easy, and the yolk doesn't turn gray.
To assemble
5
Chop the peeled eggs into medium cubes.
KnifeCutting board
6
Mix gently with the mayonnaise, green onion, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar and paprika, season with salt and black pepper and chill 30 minutes before serving.
Refrigerator
💡Add the mayonnaise gradually: warm eggs or too much mayonnaise make the salad too soft.
