Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the eggs are submerged by at least 1 inch of water.

Step 2

Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.

Step 3

After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.

Step 4

Gently crack the shells by tapping them on the counter and peel the eggs under cold running water. Pat the eggs dry with a paper towel.

Step 5

Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving plate.

Step 6

Mash the yolks with a fork until they are evenly crumbled. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the yolk mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Taste the filling and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, evenly fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle the tops with paprika and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
