Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 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
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the eggs are submerged by at least 1 inch of water.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Gently crack the shells by tapping them on the counter and peel the eggs under cold running water. Pat the eggs dry with a paper towel.
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving plate.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they are evenly crumbled. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the yolk mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Taste the filling and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, evenly fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture.
Sprinkle the tops with paprika and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
