Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons small capers
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Ensure there’s about 1 inch of water above the eggs.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs cook, prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes.

Step 4

Peel the cooled eggs carefully, then slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving tray.

Step 5

Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, chopped capers, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 6

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollows of the egg whites using a spoon or a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative touch.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
