Ingredients 📝

• 6 large eggs 🥚

• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1 teaspoon white vinegar

• Salt and black pepper, to taste 🧂

• Paprika, for garnish 🌶️

• Optional: chopped chives or parsley for extra color 🌿

Step-by-Step Instructions 🔥

1. Boil the Eggs Perfectly 🥚

• Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch.

• Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

• Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes.

• Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and make peeling easier. ❄️

2. Peel and Slice 🥄

• Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.

• Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl.

3. Make the Filling 🥚✨

• Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.

• Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper.

• Mix until creamy and well combined.

4. Fill the Egg Whites 🍴

• Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. A piping bag or Ziploc bag with the corner snipped works beautifully for a neat presentation.

5. Garnish and Serve 🌿

• Sprinkle with paprika for a classic finish.

• Optional: top with chopped chives, parsley, or a tiny slice of pickle for extra flair.

• Chill for 15–20 minutes before serving for the best texture.

Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs 💡

1. Use Slightly Older Eggs – Eggs that are a few days old peel more easily than fresh eggs.

2. Mash Yolks Smoothly – No lumps! Use a fork or a small whisk.

3. Customize Your Flavor – Add a pinch of cayenne, hot sauce, or relish for a unique twist.

4. Keep Cold Until Serving – Deviled eggs are best chilled and served within a few hours.
