Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a medium-sized saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.

Step 2

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

Step 3

After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon. Let them cool for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.

Step 4

Peel the eggs under running water to make it easier to remove the shells. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 5

Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks using a spoon. Place the yolks in a small mixing bowl and the egg whites on a serving platter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. Make sure to evenly distribute the filling among the eggs.

Step 8

Lightly sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color and flavor. For an extra touch, garnish with freshly chopped chives if desired.

Step 9

Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve cold and enjoy!
