Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon hickory-smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 slice crispy bacon, crumbled (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan. Cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. This will make them easier to peel.
Carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a plate or platter.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they form a fine crumble. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill the hollowed-out egg whites with the yolk mixture.
Sprinkle additional smoked paprika on top for presentation, if desired.
Optionally, top with crumbled crispy bacon and chopped chives for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
