Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water, making sure the water level is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat, then cover the saucepan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. This makes them easier to peel.
Gently crack and peel the shells off the eggs under cold running water.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks, placing the yolks in a small mixing bowl.
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper, and mix until creamy and well combined.
Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
Lightly sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for garnish. Add chopped fresh chives, if desired.
Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
