Boil 9 eggs until they come to a boil.

Turn off the heat and place a lid on top. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.

Drain the water and add ice to the eggs to stop them from cooking.

Peel the eggs using a spoon for easier peeling.

Make a crack at the bottom of the egg and peel a small part with fingers.

Insert the spoon between the egg and the shell and move it around until the shell falls off.

Continue peeling the rest of the eggs.

In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and 5 tablespoons of whipped cream cheese.

Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of celery seeds, and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper.

Use a fork to mash up all the eggs in a separate bowl.

Add the cream cheese and mayo mixture to the mashed eggs and mix until well combined.

Add in 3 tablespoons of diced green onions.

Serve the egg salad on bread or with crackers.
