Instructions

Prepare Eggs

Start by cutting your 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.

Mix yolk sauce

Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, a pinch of salt, and some pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Use a fork to mash everything together until it’s nice and smooth.

Mix in Ingredients

Now, mix in the chopped egg whites, ham, finely chopped shallot, and celery. Give it a good toss to combine all the flavors. If you prefer it a bit creamier, feel free to stir in a little more mayo until it’s just right.
