Instructions
Place the 4 large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and add cold water to cover by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a full boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let sit 10–12 minutes.
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water or run under cold tap water until cool. Peel the eggs.
Roughly chop the peeled eggs and place them in a medium bowl.
In a separate small bowl or directly into the egg bowl, stir together 4 teaspoons light mayonnaise and 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard until combined.
Add 2 tablespoons chopped green scallions (or chives) to the egg mixture and gently fold to combine, leaving some texture.
Season with kosher salt and fresh pepper to taste, adjust as needed, and serve or refrigerate until ready to eat.
