Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with water, ensuring the eggs are submerged by at least an inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Gently peel the eggs and set them aside.

Step 4

Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a medium mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.

Step 5

Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they form fine crumbles. Stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the mixture evenly into the hollow of each egg white half.

Step 7

Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color and flavor. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a bright finish.

Step 8

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
