Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • paprika for garnish

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Bowl
  • Fork
  • Piping bag (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by one inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately remove from heat and cover the pan.
  2. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12-15 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes to cool completely.
  3. Once cooled, gently peel the eggs under cold running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a small bowl.
  4. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth, then stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined and creamy.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. 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 the eggs are completely cooled before peeling to prevent cracking.
