Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place whole eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water until fully submerged. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.

Step 4

After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool for at least 5 minutes. This will stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.

Step 5

Gently crack and peel the eggs under cold running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Place the egg whites on a serving platter, cut side up.

Step 6

Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly and fine. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves, generously mounding it in each.

Step 8

Sprinkle the filled eggs with a little extra paprika for a pop of color and garnish with finely chopped chives, if desired.

Step 9

Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
