Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let them sit, covered, for about 10–12 minutes.
Step 2: Cool and Peel
Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Gently peel off the shells and pat them dry.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place yolks in a small bowl and mash with a fork until smooth.
Step 4: Mix the Filling
Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy and well combined.
Step 5: Fill the Eggs
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle paprika on top for colour and a hint of flavour. Optionally, add chopped chives or dill for a fresh finish.
