Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan. Fill the saucepan with enough cold water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer gently for exactly 10 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the eggs from the saucepan and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Step 4
Once cooled, peel the eggs gently under running cold water to avoid damaging the whites.
Step 5
Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
Step 6
In the mixing bowl with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture with a fork until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture evenly into the hollows of the egg whites.
Step 8
Sprinkle the filled eggs with the finely chopped parsley and dill for garnish.
Step 9
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy as an appetizer or part of a brunch spread!
