Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with water, ensuring the eggs are submerged by at least an inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Gently peel the eggs and set them aside.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a medium mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they form fine crumbles. Stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the mixture evenly into the hollow of each egg white half.
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color and flavor. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a bright finish.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
