Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon jalapeño, finely chopped (optional garnish)
• 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped (optional garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is at least 1 inch above the eggs.

Step 2

Bring the water to a rapid boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs are sitting, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with water and ice.

Step 4

Transfer the eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon and let them cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Carefully peel the eggs under running water to remove the shells, and then pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 6

Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a medium bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.

Step 7

Use a fork to mash the egg yolks until smooth, then add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, hot sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is creamy and well-combined.

Step 8

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves, filling each cavity generously.

Step 9

Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and, if desired, finely chopped jalapeño and chives for an extra kick and burst of color.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 4 hours).
