Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and fill with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid and remove from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. This makes them easier to peel.

Step 4

Gently crack and peel the shells off the eggs under running water. Pat the eggs dry with a paper towel.

Step 5

Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.

Step 6

Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly and fine-textured.

Step 7

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites, dividing it evenly among all 12 halves.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over each deviled egg and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
