Instructions
- 1
Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a full boil over high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit exactly 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath immediately and let cool 10 minutes — this stops the cooking and prevents the rubbery texture and grey ring that comes from overcooking.

Peel eggs and chop into a mix of small and medium pieces — some chunk variation adds better texture. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add chopped eggs, celery, red onion, dill, and chives. Fold gently to combine without mashing the eggs into a paste.

Taste and adjust seasoning — egg salad often needs more salt than you expect. Arrange lettuce leaves in pairs (double-layered for sturdiness) and spoon the egg salad into each. Dust with paprika. Serve immediately or refrigerate the filling separately for up to 3 days.
