Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring about 1 inch of water above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the eggs into a bowl of ice water. Allow them to cool for 5–10 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Gently tap each egg on the countertop to crack the shell, then peel the eggs under running water to make peeling easier.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise, and use a small spoon to scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they are fine and crumbly in texture.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until the filling is creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste if desired.
Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag or use a small spoon to fill the egg white halves evenly.
Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika for garnish.
Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow them to chill and the flavors to meld.
