Main Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- paprika for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by one inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool completely for at least 5 minutes, then peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.
- Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl, then mash the yolks with a fork until they are smooth and free of lumps.
Assembly
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks, then mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and well combined.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the empty egg white halves, then arrange them on a serving platter.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the yolk mixture. Ensure eggs are cooled completely before peeling to prevent sticking and achieve a smoother egg white.
