For perfect hard boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot with cold water and gently bring to a boil. When the water boils, cover the pot, turn off the heat and let stand for exactly 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, drain the hot water and rinse with icy cold water for a minute to stop the cooking and prevent a grey ring from forming around the yolk.

Peel the eggs and place them in a bowl with the mayonnaise and mash together with a fork.
3 tablespoon mayonnaise
Season with salt and pepper and add the celery, chives and the lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
2 celery stalks, ½ bunch chives, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, A squeeze of lemon juice
