Ingredients
- 12 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water level is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
Step 3
Carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) to cool for about 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
Step 4
Peel the eggs gently under running water to remove the shells, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 5
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Place the empty whites on a serving platter.
Step 6
Using a fork, mash the yolks until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper, and mix until fully combined into a creamy filling.
Step 7
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites using a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Be generous with the filling!
Step 8
Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a touch of color and flavor. Optionally, garnish with finely chopped chives for freshness.
Step 9
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
