Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Drain the water from the saucepan and place the eggs in a bowl of ice water immediately to cool them down and stop the cooking process.
Once the eggs are cooled, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack their shells, then peel each egg under running water.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, placing them in a medium mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving dish, hollow side up.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they are smooth and without lumps.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper to the mashed yolks, stirring until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika, and garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
