02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by cutting the hard-boiled eggs in half and carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Chop the egg whites roughly and set them aside for now. Mash the yolks with a fork, then mix in the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, salt, and pepper until you get a smooth, creamy base. Next, stir in the chopped egg whites, diced ham, finely chopped shallot, and celery. Give everything a good toss to combine all the flavors. If you prefer it a bit creamier, just add a little more mayo until it’s just right.
