Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika (for garnish)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or pickles for extra flavor
Instructions
- Hard-boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for about 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
- Peel the eggs: After the eggs have cooled, peel them carefully, ensuring the whites stay intact.
- Cut and remove yolks: Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a bowl.
- Prepare the filling: Mash the yolks with a fork, then add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. For extra flavor, you can add chopped chives or pickles at this stage.
- Fill the egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with paprika for color and an extra hint of flavor. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a creamy texture, feel free to adjust the mayonnaise quantity to suit your taste.
- You can use a piping bag for a more elegant presentation.
- Adding a little pickle relish can give a tangy kick to the filling.
