Ingredients
  

Main
  • 12 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish
  • paprika
  • fresh chives chopped

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Medium Bowl
  • Fork
  • Piping Bag (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 12-15 minutes.
  2. Drain the eggs and transfer them to an ice bath to cool completely, then peel and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl, arranging the whites on a platter.
Assembly
  1. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth, then stir in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar until well combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh chives before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of curry powder or a dash of hot sauce to the yolk mixture. Ensure eggs are perfectly chilled before peeling for easier removal of the shell. These deviled eggs are best served within 2 hours of preparation.
