Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
- Chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for a few minutes.
- Peel the eggs, slice them in half lengthwise, and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a small bowl.

- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites.
- Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with chives or parsley, if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a smoother filling, use a food processor to blend the yolk mixture.
- Add a touch of hot sauce or pickle relish to the filling for extra flavor.
- These can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
