  1. Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water. Ensure the water level is about 2.5 cm above the eggs.

  3. Remove the eggs from the heat, drain the hot water, and place them in a bowl of cold water for 3 minutes to cool.
  4. Peel the eggs and chop them into small cubes. Place the chopped eggs into a mixing bowl.
  5. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Mix gently to combine until the eggs are evenly coated.
  6. Serve the egg salad on a small bed of salad, garnished with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice for added freshness.
