Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.
- Cool and Peel: After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Prepare the Filling: Remove the yolks from the egg whites and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork, then add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, creating a nice dome on each.
- Garnish: Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for color and flavor. Add chopped chives or parsley if desired.
