Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs

  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 1 tsp yellow mustard

  • 1 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Paprika, for garnish

  • Optional: chopped chives or dill for garnish

Instructions

  • Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.

  • Cool and peel: Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool completely. Peel the shells off and pat dry.

  • Halve and remove yolks: Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place them in a bowl.

  • Make the filling: Mash the yolks with a fork. Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

  • Fill the eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.

 

  • Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with chives or dill if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use older eggs for easier peeling.

  • You can prep the eggs and filling ahead of time and assemble right before serving.

  • For a flavor twist, try mixing in a bit of relish, hot sauce, or Dijon mustard.
