Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika for garnish

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Bowl
  • Fork
  • Serving platter
  • Piping bag (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by one inch; bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 12-15 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes; gently crack and peel the eggs under cold running water.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a small bowl; place the egg white halves on a serving platter.
  4. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth, then add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper, mixing until creamy and well combined.
Assembly
  1. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves; garnish with a sprinkle of paprika before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of fresh chives to the yolk mixture. Ensure eggs are perfectly chilled before peeling for easier removal of the shell.
