Instructions
Preparation
- Boil the Eggs: Start by placing the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 12-14 minutes.
- Cool the Eggs: Transfer the eggs to an ice bath for about 5-10 minutes to cool.
- Peel the Eggs: Carefully tap each egg on a hard surface and roll it to crack the shell. Start peeling from the wider end.
- Prepare the Filling: Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl and set the egg whites aside.
- Mix the Filling: Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites, mounding them generously.
- Garnish: Lightly dust the filled eggs with paprika.
- Chill and Serve: Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For variations, add chopped pickles, chives, or hot sauce. For a smoother filling, consider using a food processor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
