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 black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with cold water. Ensure the water level is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
While the eggs cook, prepare a large bowl of ice water. After the 10 minutes are up, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool for 5 minutes.
Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell. Peel the eggs carefully and rinse to remove any small shell fragments.
Slice each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they form a fine crumble. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe the filling evenly into the hollow centers of the egg whites.
Sprinkle the deviled eggs with paprika and fresh chives, if desired, for garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for the best flavor.
