Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes to hard boil the eggs.
Once the eggs are done, transfer them to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
Remove the yolks from the eggs and place them in a medium bowl. Set the egg whites aside for another use or discard them.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Mix until well combined and creamy.
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Carefully scoop out a small portion of the flesh from the center of each half to create a larger cavity for stuffing.
Fill each avocado half with the deviled egg mixture, mounding it slightly.
Sprinkle with additional paprika and garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Deviled Egg Stuffed Avocados!
