Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a medium-sized saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water is boiling, cover the pan with a lid, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon. Let them cool for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Peel the eggs under running water to make it easier to remove the shells. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks using a spoon. Place the yolks in a small mixing bowl and the egg whites on a serving platter.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they are finely crumbled. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. Make sure to evenly distribute the filling among the eggs.
Lightly sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color and flavor. For an extra touch, garnish with freshly chopped chives if desired.
Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve cold and enjoy!
