### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Deluxe Egg Salad

**1. Hard-Boil the Eggs**
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath and peel once cooled.

**2. Mash Gently**
Chop or mash the eggs in a bowl. For a chunkier texture, mash lightly with a fork; for creamier salad, mash more thoroughly.

**3. Mix the Dressing**
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayo, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika.

**4. Combine & Customize**
Fold in the eggs, celery, onions, and herbs. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add chopped pickles or a touch of hot sauce for extra zing.

**5. Assemble Your Sandwiches**
Toast your bread (if desired), spread a generous scoop of egg salad, and top with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, or avocado slices. Top with the second slice and cut in half.
